Yeah I saw a clip on twitch of a big streamer getting into another streamers car, and he said he'd been playing on his steam deck while his tesla was on auto-pilot. No one batted an eye lid.
Tesla does not have autonomous driving tech, it has assisted driving tech which people are treating like autonomous driving - including tesla who market it as Tesla Autopilot. It's worth remembering it's a "beta testing" programme to get to level 5 self driving; it is currently level 2 and needs active driver supervision at all time. And that's ignoring all the controversy about the system Tesla has adopted which is cheaper and dumps a lot of sensor components others say are essential to actually achieve autonomous driving.
Tesla is basically a cow boy company who have managed to get the "BMW" stereotype drivers to buy their cars and beta test them on the roads. The rest of us are the road fodder for this dangerous approach.
