Mum has hilarious reaction to self driving Tesla

Tesla, Inc.

My heart is, sort of, racing!

As an alternative, might I suggest "Brandon Dierickx" instead of "TikTok"?

TikTok content creator Brandon Dierickx recently posted a video showcasing his mom's priceless reaction to a self-driving experience in a Tesla car.

She can barely fathom the current situation.

CHECK IT OUT: Elon Musk is providing complimentary Tesla Superchargers for every single electric vehicle.

The video begins with Brandon's mom behind the steering wheel of the autonomous Tesla, but this is just a metaphorical expression since she doesn't actually have to grip the wheel.

Just so you know, the steering wheel is Tesla's well-known yoke.

The vehicle accelerates, and Brandon instructs his mother to refrain from "pressing the accelerator." In response, she inquires if the car will eventually come to a halt.

That's a valid inquiry, and we understand your concern as well.

She experiences an increase in her heart rate when the autonomous Tesla car effortlessly maneuvers around a corner. "I can feel my heartbeat accelerating," she remarks.

It's understandable, to be honest.

Tesla initially introduced its autonomous driving technology, known as 'Autopilot', more than a decade ago.

In the beginning, the initial rendition of Autopilot was essentially an enhanced version of cruise control. However, the most recent enhancement now provides Autopilot with the capacity to achieve self-driving at Level 3 and Level 4.

Additionally, Tesla is striving to advance it to Level 5.

To make it clear, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) categorizes driving automation into six levels. These levels span from Level 0, which indicates complete manual control, to Level 5, where the vehicle operates entirely autonomously.

Tesla's Full Self-Driving Capability (FSD), currently in its Beta phase, operates at Level 4 autonomy enabling the vehicle to autonomously navigate an entire trip without any driver intervention.

Regulatory constraints prevent Tesla's Autopilot from being accessible in specific areas. However, as demonstrated in the video, it's evident that the system operates partially.

In reality, Elon Musk holds the belief that Tesla owners could potentially utilize their vehicles as autonomous taxis down the line.

However, as always with Musk, we should likely approach his words with skepticism.
