A decidedly dangerous test that has ended up under accusation in the United States, that of the young youtuber, Johnathon Cook who published a video entitled “Sleeping in my Tesla while driving“, or: “Sleeping in my Tesla while driving“.
The guy, who has over 1 million hits on TikTok, posted a video of himself pretending to go to sleep in a Tesla Model 3 with the autopilot in action and even going in the back seat while driving at a significant speed on the freeway.
In the video, the young man shows how he bypassed Tesla’s protections to try to prevent people from doing just that by putting weights on the steering wheel to fool the sensor and pulling out of the seat belt. A very dangerous maneuver that endangered his life, that of other motorists and finally that of the mother who has seen fit to film it in this crazy video of his.
