The driver is sleeping, Tesla is lucky

What do people do in a car with an autopilot

Since mid -October 2015, Tesla electric vehicles have the opportunity to use the autopilot function. The car is really driving itself, but drivers are still asked to follow the road situation and not remove their hands from the steering wheel. Nevertheless, some owners of Tesla decide to violate this rule, fully trusting in automation. "Medusa" collected the most expressive examples of what people are doing, being in a car with an autopilot.

They are surprised

The owner of Tesla shocked his 70-year-old mother autopilot. The man put the woman behind the wheel, after which the car started independently and gained speed. Mom was scared and did not hide it.

By the way, children can also be scared by this function. Somehow, the child was left alone in a car that independently leaving the garage-and the boy began to be frightened to persuade the car to stop.

Merring

Acting teacher Michael Woolson and his wife showed what you can do in Tesla Model X with the autopilot function. The couple played, ate, read, fought on light swords from Star Wars, made a massage and even work out for sports. At the end of the trip, the driver and passenger just went to bed.

Sleep

One of the owners of the electric car was so relaxed that he managed to doze off right on the road. This case in May 2016 captured on the highway the driver of a neighboring car.

If a person behind the wheel does not pay attention to management for a long time, Tesla gives signals to the driver and can even stop on the sidelines. The creator of Tesla Elon Mask promises that cars will become completely autonomous in 2018 - and then you can safely sleep on the road.

Do not get in an accident

Tesla autopilot can dodge the clashes - and sometimes it really works. Once a car traveling along the oncoming, sharply turned right in front of an electric car; The autopilot managed to react and stop.

The manufacturer emphasizes that the function of self -government in Tesla during poor weather conditions can not work well enough. As can be seen from the record, it was raining on the street, but the road, according to the author of the video, was dry.

This is not the only case when the autopilot managed to prevent a collision of cars.

Almost fall into an accident

Tesla another owner herself almost provoked an accident on the road. The man decided to try the function of autopilot near the house. At first everything went well, but suddenly the car began to cross the double continuous and drove into the oncoming lane along which the car was moving. The driver managed to pull the steering wheel and evade the blow.

The autopilot function works with a radar, front camera, several ultrasound sensors and GPS navigation. Elon Musk emphasizes that the system is not yet completely autonomous, and the hands should still be held on the steering wheel. “People can [remove their hands from the steering wheel under good weather conditions], but we do not recommend this,” Musk said at the presentation of the autopilot.

True, the temptation to travel without hands is too large-even the wife of Mask Talula Riley somehow rushed along the road, dancing in the driver's seat.

Drive drivers

Magicofrahat pranker scared drivers on the road using the autopilot function in Tesla. The joker hid in the driver's place so that he was not visible. The drivers passing by were shocked by the fact that there is no one in the car, but she was driving along the road. “This is not a joke, this is the future - there is no one at the wheel of this“ Tesla ”, and she is traveling along the highway,” commented on a surprised driver from a passing car, taking off what was happening on the camera.
