    This is crazy, I was in a parking lot yesterday and saw someone have their Tesla driver right up to them to pick them up in the parking lot with no driver inside. Kind of pissed me off I was so near in the same parking lot that was operating on its own, with my wife and nieces. I know Elon Musk wouldn’t give one fuck about me if his dumbass machine ran me or mine right over

      They have had that capability for at least 7 years now so if it makes you feel any better, it’s been getting tested for a while. Interesting side note, if the car does fuck up and damage another car or injure someone, the TOS says that the owner of the vehicle is liable and Tesla has no culpability.

      After almost getting hit twice by a driven Tesla while walking in a lot, the guy parked it in a handicap spot with no placard and speed walked into the store. Upon exit from a different door, the driver had it drive itself to him. I’m miffed i missed my chance to fuck with it because I didn’t know what was going on. I was waiting, debating calling police for the placard issue (given there were multiple open spaces nearby). I decided to not get involved and drove in front of the tesla to exit. Weird, I noted, seeing the drl bar and left blinker on. Turns out, it was waiting it’s turn to leave autonomously.

      Fuck that guy. DoorDash vibe. 150ft walk.

      Feel free to fuck with that car, there really isn’t a penalty for say moonwalking in front of one, if it does hit you, great you’re a millionaire. Or if you don’t feel like doing it just point it out to my dumbass.

        You don’t become a millionaire just for being hit, you’d have to be injured enough to get that, and this is at low speeds in a parking lot. But yes, you can fuck with it to fuck with them, like blocking it etc.
