2 YouTube pranks on friends by pretending to be asleep while driving a Tesla car in Autopilot mode
Twins Lucas and Marcus Dobre have just uploaded to their YouTube channel with more than 19 million followers a prank video of family and friends. In the video, the two brothers drive a Tesla around the city and pretend to fall asleep while using the car's Autopilot mode.
At the beginning of the video, they said that with Autopilot mode, the car will be able to drive itself, but this is actually not true. Tesla pointed out on its website that the Autopilot semi-autonomous driving assistance system - the basic Autopilot mode that is found on most consumer Tesla models - needs to " be used with the focus of driver, with both hands on the steering wheel and ready to take control at any time. "
Despite this, the twins still play pranks on their brother and friends, Cyrus and Darius, Lucas's girlfriend, and the video editor for them is Alex. Both turned on Autopilot and pretended to doze off. The victims of the hoax have all reacted to the shocking attitude and tried to wake up the two hellish drivers before being revealed the truth.






It seems that the twins thought that no one was in danger when they did the above joke, but in fact, everyone in the car was placed before the "death scythe". Blogger Simon Alvarez pointed out in an article that " pretending to sleep while Autopilot driving around the city is not an example of responsible behavior ".
" YouTubers with a large following, like the Dobre twins, should be more careful and understand the risks that may occur when using Autopilot for the wrong purpose " - he wrote.
Even the twin brother, Cyrus, also said that " can't completely trust " Autopilot.

This is not the first time Tesla's Autopilot function has been used irresponsibly by celebrities - on YouTube there are many videos in which the authors for self-driving cars without drivers sitting inside!
In May last year, adult film actor Taylor Jackson and her boyfriend filmed themselves having sex in a running Tesla and uploaded it to adult movie website PornHub.
Jackson said that they initially joked that " it would make a great pig movie ". The couple also said that a lot of cars were passing by while they were filming.
Tesla founder, Elon Musk, later commented on the video in a comfortable way: "It turns out there are more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined it ," and added that he " probably so I knew something would happen . "
