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?

  • 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 is weird. I love it (Part 7)

    Ok, the title might be slightly misleading, but there is still a Japan-link.  So, pufferfish. Specifically, a wikipedia entry called Pufferfish mating ritual.  Long story short, one particular species of pufferfish make complex geometric circles in the sand to attract a mate. And this particular species is found only in Japan.  It's beautiful. It's bizarre. And it's absolutely amazing.  From the wikipedia entry: In a 2014 documentary by the BBC, narrator David Atten

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of

    Forget the Future - Embrace the Past

    Ah, the future. That shiny, chrome-plated paradise we're all supposed to be chasing. Well, I say bollocks to that. Let's take a cheeky detour down memory lane instead, shall we? Imagine you're lounging in a velvet smoking jacket, sipping brandy from a crystal snifter, surrounded by dusty tomes and antique globes. Sounds rather spiffing, no? That's because old is gold, methinks. While everyone else is frantically scrolling through their social media feeds, we'll be gleefully embracing t
