The excitement of autopilot

[OVERKILL]

Nothing quite like getting woken up while doing 60+ Mph

I fear this is going to become more and more common unfortunately.

Exactly.

What an idiot. We are going to be seeing more and more of this kind of stuff.

I'm not going to volunteer to do it, but how do these cars respond when someone cuts them off and slams on the brakes which is incredibly common out here?

I'm skeptical-why are all the windows down. I want a quiet nap. Maybe to get a good video???

 

[rekit]

No, this is waking up!!

Tesla drivers do this all the time to mess with other drivers. (Pretend to be sleeping) I promise, it was a joke.

It's called autonomous driving it's the wave of the future.

Perhaps but the future is not here yet.

Tesla has sold over 500,000 cars with AP.
These cars send data back to Tesla; Tesla has over 1.2B miles of data.
Is is used to improve AP.
I believe the data will be used in their soon to be released insurance business.
Safe drivers will get better rates...

As far as reaction to being cutoff, AP is probably better than most drivers. The cameras are on all the time.

As far as this driver goes, faking or not, he is an idiot who should be held responsible.

Even if real, it'll be great in the future when falling asleep at the wheel (common) doesn't guarantee an accident.

Wasn't sure how to take that TBH. Is it the guy filming that loves to prank people passed out or in the zone on AP? Or does he love to be the guy on autopilot pranking random drivers?

Perhaps they are buddies and this is indeed a charade, but I think the concern about this happening, even if that's the case, is not unfounded.
