WATCH: Moronic Pedestrian Plays Chicken With A Tesla Cybercab

Tesla’s autonomous driving technology has generated a ton of interest over the years and there was little doubt the Cybercab would do the same. However, some people appear to be taking things a little too far.

 

In a clip posted on social media, a person can be seen standing behind a pole and then jumping onto the street in front of a Cybercab. In effect, it appears they were trying to hide from the vehicle and see if it would detect them and then stop at the last minute.

$TSLA Robotaxis definitely face a huge issue with people intentionally stopping a car. This guy is playing games with the new Cybercab, but the ability to evade someone attempting to harm the vehicle or especially the passengers is likely a design flaw. pic.twitter.com/9PGWfIyXGY
