‘Should be in prison’: Cybertruck driver takes eyes off freeway to focus on playing GTA V

Murder on wheels.

The only thing more dangerous than a Cybertruck is a Cybertruck driver. Elon Musk’s hideous boondoggle is now the laughing stock of the automotive world: on the street people point and laugh, it’s partly responsible for the ongoing collapse of the Tesla brand, and the company has been forced to do a humiliating recall after it turned out they were assembled using the wrong kind of glue.

But as dangerous and ugly as they are, the drivers are worse. Anyone who’s willingly be seen in a Cybertruck in public at this point is missing a few brain cells, as proven by this video of a driver kicking back on the freeway, taking his eyes off the road and concentrating on playing Grand Theft Auto V:

This driver is using Full-Self Driving (supervised) mode (FSD), which is rapidly proving to be horrendously unsafe for motorists and pedestrians. There have been multiple incidents of Tesla vehicles veering off the road into traffic or obstacles for no apparent reason. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is monitoring the situation, but their report already concludes that FSD is “a driver assistance system that requires constant supervision by a human driver.

As you may have guessed, playing video games while driving is not “constant supervision”. In this case, even Tesla fans are outraged, with one saying, “This is the kind of c**p that will ruin it for everyone.. Company, shareholders, other Tesla FSD users, everyone. Please be a responsible driver“. Others say this shouldn’t be possible, as “you get dinged all the time for looking at the screen even to change the song.”

Disabling the safety

Others theorize this driver has intentionally disabled the FSD safety features:

Whatever the case, we can only echo the calls that this moron needs to be off the road. The way he’s driving that will likely happen one way or another sooner or later. Either he’ll be identified and have his license removed, or he’ll veer off the freeway into a tree at speed and be rapidly ejected through the Cybertruck windshield.
