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).

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?

  • 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

    The art of doing nothing?

    Here’s a quick fun fact for those who’ve sworn themselves entirely off TikTok, out of the fear of having to run yet another social media account: You don’t actually need to log in to the app to scroll it. Quite incredibly (but also quite scarily), the platform’s algorithm is still able to curate an incredible array of videos that it thinks will make you want to keep scrolling. And for this existential-crisis-ridden 28-year old, it’s decided to feed videos more along the 'self-help’ route re

    We happy few, we Band of Brothers

    It is safe to say that one way or another, the majority of Singaporean men have served their country. Be it sleeping in the jungles of Mandai, walking the beat on the streets of Clarke Quay on New Year’s Eve, or putting out fires (literally) clad in heavy protective gear, most local and naturalised male citizens have given up, as the song goes, “two years of our time”. But many have differing views of National Service. Some see it as a hindrance, a waste of time. Some see it as an opportuni

    The Music that Shaped Me, Pt. 1

    Some of my colleagues will know that I make electronic music outside of work and school. A stark contrast from the impression I give off (several people throughout my teenage years told me I seemed more like a classical guy). Truth be told, I wasn’t always into music. Growing up in an average Singaporean Chinese household, my main sources were either the sporadic exposure to radio stations, or more frequently the theme songs of whatever was playing on KidsCentral/Okto (RIP free-to-air kids
