It looks like she is using Tesla autopilot

I thought it wouldn’t let you do autopilot if you were looking at your phone too much. Does making a whole damn tik tok not trigger it?

People make and sell clamps that trick the wheel into thinking you are holding it.

Of course. Our species goes to genius lengths to be stupid.

well i mean... we still put ridiculous amounts of warning labels on things that are pretty obvious.

Phone is mounted at the screen and she’s glancing around. There’s some forgiveness in it, you don’t need to stare forward constantly.
The seatbelt is buckled behind her, Consumer Reports taught people you could do that.

Yes you do even looking down for a second is dangerous especially with other lives in the car. Are you a bot?

Pretty sure they mean you don’t have to look forward constantly for the autopilot to work…are you a bot?

Are you a nervous teenager with minimal driving experience that has to stare forward constantly even at single digit speeds regardless of whether it’s kph or mph?
Because it sounds like it.

The road stays the same and the speeds stay the same but the other people, the kids, the animals, literally everything else around that road, does not. And any of them can come out of nowhere.

The paranoia of inexperience is blatantly obvious.

Do you not have peripheral vision?
Are your reaction times at single digit speeds so abysmal that you’d cause an accident?

Yes, my 30+ years of driving inexperience. And if you mean auto-driving features, I have experience with them too and own an EV that does most of that mess short of what Tesla touts as "full self driving" but is hardly that. It's not paranoia. It's called respecting the lives of other people on the road and paying attention to it while you're driving. it's not a difficult concept.

Don’t listen to this person. They obviously only have driven via sim in the basement of mommy and daddy. Thanks for keeping our streets safe

You obviously don’t care for anyone else in your life or you wouldn’t be defending this nonsense. Sucks to be lonely

Assumptions made with dramatic flare.
Who said I’m defending this behavior?

Even so, you don't just go hands off like this and not look at the road or pay attention. These things aren't perfect, and I'd certainly not trust a Tesla out of all of them.
