Indecisive Tesla driver proves that driving a smart car does not make you a smart driver

Indecisive Tesla driver proves that driving a smart car does not make you a smart driver

This driver puts the Tesla Model 3 to shame after he misses his turn on the expressway.

In the video, a fellow driver was travelling on the expressway when he noticed the white Tesla tailgating the car in front of it.

For those who are unable to identify the Tesla, here it is!

As the cam car driver remains on the left lane, the driver of the Tesla immediately brakes to avoid following the turn on the right lane.

The driver then signals left and attempts to squeeze himself onto the left lane at the very last second but fails as his $120,000 vehicle almost hits the expressway barrier. 

The cam car driver presses on his horn to alert him of his presence.

The embarrassed driver quickly drives off with no other way to get onto the right lane.

Was the driver on autopilot mode?

According to Tesla, its advanced safety and convenience features are designed to assist the driver with the most burdensome parts of driving (whatever that means).

giphy-downsized-large.gif

Over time, the brand will introduce new features and improve existing functionality into its Autopilot mode. This is to make the car safer and more capable.

Currently, Tesla’s Autopilot allows drivers to steer, accelerate and brake automatically within its lane. Drivers can follow navigation suggestions to optimise their routes, which will lead the vehicle to automatically steer towards highway interchanges and exits based on its destination.

However, Tesla has started that active driver supervision is still required and the Autopilot function does not make the car 100% autonomous.

While it is hard to discern if the driver was really on Autopilot (or just plain distracted/indecisive), it is always essential to learn how to properly form up and know the routes that one intends to take. 

Even the smartest car in the world can’t save a ‘blur’ driver.

I honestly think that cutting through at the last second is not the smartest move 😅

It looks like this car is quite well known in that area 👀

The autopilot has auto lane change function. Right? It is at a split so maybe it got confused.

If the autopilot is not on the driver should be able to see clearly with the big navigation screen.

Well, maybe both man and machine got problem. Who knows?

  • A 20-year journey, an old passion rekindled

    For us 90s babies, the Holy Trinity of Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, and Cartoon Network formed a big part of our childhood. The internet was just about coming into fruition, with the rise of a plethora of websites with numerous entertaining flash games and of course, the early days of YouTube. And though those things have come and gone, one thing in my life remained constant: My love for Pokemon. I first got into Pokemon 20 years ago, and I remember exactly how it went down. Let me set the

    Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    5 ways the Polestar 2 Core Edition proves less can be more

    With a less-is-more approach, the Polestar 2 Core Edition offers a more value-for-money entry into the Swedish brand.  What first comes to mind when you think of Sweden? IKEA, and probably ABBA. But there's plenty more that has come out of Sweden besides flat-pack furniture, meatballs and impossibly-catchy pop songs. Founded as a standalone brand just eight years ago and headquartered in Torslanda, Sweden, Polestar is a design-forward electric performance brand that wants to put its Sc

    Motorcycle riding is a sensory experience beyond the exhaust

    Riding a motorcycle is like taking your nose on a wild adventure. You're cruising down the road, expecting to smell nothing except exhaust fumes and perhaps rubbish, when suddenly - bam! - you're hit with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling char kway teow from a nearby coffeeshop. Heck, you might even catch a whiff of someone's fancy perfume as you zip by. It's like your bike has magical powers, transforming an ordinary ride into a sensory rollercoaster. It's these unexpected olfactory deli
