Tesla’s Autopilot can do many amazing things but one thing it wasn’t designed for was allowing the driver to engage in sexual activities while the self-driving mode is on.
And yet, that’s exactly what happened recently as an X-rated video has made “Tesla” the No. 1 search term on… Pornhub. We can’t even reproduce the title of the video, let alone tell you what happens in it, but we’re pretty sure those of you who are motivated enough will find it.

Suffice to say the video features young actress Taylor Jackson who gets picked up in a Tesla Model X by her Tinder date, after which Autopilot is turned on (among other things) and the two “lovebirds” get to know each other much better than most people on a first date.
The video was uploaded on the website at the end of April and was featured on Pornhub’s Instagram on April 30 with the caption: “Reporting you to Elon for not having two hands on the wheel with Autopilot enabled.”

Apparently, the video became a big hit, as actress Taylor Jackson (who in the meantime changed her Twitter handle to Tesla Taylor) bragged about the fact that she made “Tesla” the No. 1 search on Pornhub.
Eventually, Elon Musk couldn’t help but post a cheeky comment on Twitter with regard to the newly-found role for Autopilot. “Turns out there’s more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined. Shoulda seen it coming…” Tesla CEO tweeted yesterday.
Shoulda seen it coming …

A humorous tone regarding this episode may not be the most appropriate for Musk if he wants people to take Tesla’s recommendations about Autopilot seriously and not put themselves and other road users at great risk.
“Autopilot is intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any time. While Autopilot is designed to become more capable over time, in its current form, it is not a self-driving system,” Tesla says on its website.
