One couple recently shot a porn video while driving a Tesla on autopilot, and uploaded the video on porn site PornHub. Now with over nine million views, the video had caught the attention of chief executive officer Elon Musk.
Pornstar Taylor Jackson took Tesla’s autopilot feature to the test — and to a whole new level — when she released a video of herself having sex with her “Tinder date” in the electric vehicle last March.
The video, which now has over nine million views, caught the attention of the porn site and took to Instagram to post a screenshot of the video on May 1.
“Reporting you to Elon for not having two hands on the wheel with autopilot enabled,” the post stated.
The Tesla Autopilot feature was designed to be used with a “fully attentive driver,” which was emphasized by Tesla’s Autopilot guide. Several accidents caused by the handsfree feature have actually been reported, including a crash in 2018 which caused the death of a man.
Musk, however, did not mention the misuse of the feature in the porn video and seemed to be amused by the situation.
“[It] turns out [there are] more ways to use Autopilot than we imagine,” the Tesla co-founder said on Twitter, May 10. “[I should have] seen it coming.”
Jackson also celebrated on Twitter for her success, as searches for “Tesla” in the porn site surged after the video was uploaded, making it the top one most searched keyword in PornHub last May 2. The adult film actress also changed her twitter name into “Tesla Taylor.”
Aside from making porn videos, people have been finding different ways to use Tesla’s Autopilot feature. Last year, beauty mogul Jeffree Star did his makeup while on Autopilot.
The makeup video garnered about 5.9 million views. JB
