I saw this vid on youtube a while back where this kid hung ankle weights on his tesla steering wheel while cruising down the highway then grabbed a blanket and took a nap in the back seat.
Yeah my buddy was able to do that. He hung a paperweight on the steering wheel which the sensors registered as “hands on the wheel”. But I don’t think that works anymore on the newer models. I think they have cameras that have to see your eyes to auto drive. Someone else can confirm. Though that doesn’t explain this story. Maybe he had the older system.
