    CNN transportation editor Michael Ballaban took a Tesla for a test drive in “full self-driving” mode along the busy streets of Brooklyn, New York.

    The review video shows him having to interrupt the car’s decisions on a number of occasions when it tried to careen him into trucks, sidewalk fences, and the wrong side of the road.

    The aim of the video, he said, was not to bash Ellon Musk and his automotive invention, but rather to see how the car works in real-life:

    “We’re not trying to make this car screw up. We’re not trying to have a laugh at Elon Musk’s expense,” Ballaban says warily from behind the wheel. “That’s not the point. We’re really just trying to see how it handles driving in the city.”

    One can’t help but feel his palpable anxiety and question the validity of Tesla claiming that its electric vehicles can drive in “full self-driving” mode:

    Here’s Input Mag with their scathing take:

    Watching Ballaban bravely venture through downtown Brooklyn in a “self-driving” Tesla is an incredibly stressful four minutes, but to be honest, it’s also completely unsurprising.

    Tesla has tried for months to assure everyone its “Full Self-Driving” mode is totally fine, and just needs a bit of smoothing out from its current, limited beta release results.

    Never mind the 12 000 cars recalled over a comms error in their FSD updates that caused sudden, unexpected, potentially deadly emergency brake deployment, or the company attempting to suppress its abysmal in-house testing reports, or Elon Musk straight-up saying the Beta isn’t where it should be.

    Ballaban admits that he is not a Tesla driver, and so he might have been more “skittish” than necessary. Still, the car seems to make a fair amount of mistakes.

    A nap is definitely not recommended.
