Speaking to The Verge, YouTube representative Ivy Choi said the video violated its policies against harmful and dangerous content, and that the platform “does not allow content that shows minors participating in dangerous activities or that encourages minors to engage in dangerous activities.” After the video was removed, Tad Park said, “I’ve tried the Full Self Driving beta before and I trust it with my kids’ lives.” In addition, Park stated that the vehicle did not go more than 13 km / h and that he was in control of the steering wheel during the test process.
The video is still on Twitter

After the controversy began, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warned against using children to test automated driving technologies.
