Tesla Fans Furious at Video of Tesla Crashing Into Wall Painted Like Road (futurism.com)

In the piece — titled "Can You Fool a Self Driving Car?" — Rober found that a Tesla car on Autopilot was fooled by a Wile E. Coyote-style wall painted to look like the road ahead of it, with the electric vehicle plowing right through it instead of stopping.

The footage was damning enough, with slow-motion clips showing the car not only crashing through the styrofoam wall but also a mannequin of a child. The Tesla was also fooled by simulated rain and fog.

The president can't drive by law unless on the grounds of the White House and maybe Camp David. At least while in office. They might be allowed to drive after leaving office...

I don't think Trump can drive. As in, he doesn't even know what the pedals do.

He looks like he's making the siren sounds and having a great time

He would be a much funnier person if he weren't in a position of power (and thus didn't have the ability to affect people), especially one as terrifying as being the leader of one of the most powerful nations in the world.
