While riding I've had it detect many different objects than just cars, including bike riders, horses, airplanes, and boats. While stopped I've also had it detect a runner approaching from behind on a trail.
*Pretty* sure it's designed specifically to detect vehicles, and any other non-vehicle detection should be considered a false alarm. Fwiw, I definitely haven't seen what you're talking about. On group rides mine does a great job of not picking up riders in my group (even riders I'm passing or getting passed by).
Mine also detects parked cars I'm riding by, but no pedestrians or trees that I'm flying by.
I wonder if yours is prone to more false alarms? I have a gen 2.
It'd be utterly useless and annoying if it was just picking up everything moving relative to you. I'd estimate that 95+% of "car icons" that show up on my head unit are, indeed, cars. I'm truly impressed at how accurate it is. Except it misses quite a few motorcycles, in my experience.
