As the Tesla cars come equipped with an advanced Autopilot system onboard, some drivers tend to misuse that by simply being stupid. This has led to several on-road accidents as drivers often become irresponsible by taking unfair advantage of the self-driving system in Tesla cars. Similarly, an NRI Tesla owner in San Francisco feels safer in the backseat of his Tesla Model 3 rather than driving the car himself.
Well, Tesla’s Autopilot advanced driving assistance system keeps the car in its lane, slows it down, and speeds it up as required. With some tweaks with the settings, the car can also change lanes and take exit ramps on its own. However, Tesla has made it clear that the Autopilot system needs an attentive driver with their hands on the wheel and prepared to take over whenever needed. Sharma tricked the sensors into thinking someone was on the driver’s seat by just placing one of his feet on the steering wheel from the back seat.
