Tesla autopilot is being tested with real kids!

Electric car giant Tesla has been in danger for a while because of its autonomous driving system. Although the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system is said to be reliable, experts believe it invites accidents. One Tesla owner used his 11-year-old to try autopilot.

A Tesla Model S Plaid owner named Carmine Cupani is at the center of criticism with the experiment video she uploaded to YouTube. He tested the company’s autopilot, called FSD, on his 11-year-old child. Up to 56 km/h during the video, Cupani said the FSD passed the test.

The Model S Plaid owner, who recorded the video with a smartphone behind the wheel, said the Tesla FSD braked smoothly and had no trouble spotting his 11-year-old son. Carmine Cupani ran a similar test with less advanced Tesla driver assistance software and got the same result.

YouTube, which found Carmine Cupani’s experiment dangerous, removed the video. Although it can be watched on different channels, it appears suspended on Cupani’s own channel. Speaking about YouTube’s removal of the video, Cupani said, “I’m sure my child didn’t have an accident. I am an expert in professional driving instructors,” he said.

Although the FSD tests were successful, even government agencies do not trust Tesla. The California DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) said the name “full self-driving” was misleading and could suspend Tesla’s license to sell vehicles.

Also, another experiment that previously tested the safety of the Tesla autopilot claimed that the vehicle flew over child dummies. Elon Musk, on the other hand, opposed this experiment, saying it was a “hoax”.
