At some point in the future, a car that drives by itself without a driver present may turn into a normal occurrence. But that time isn’t happening anytime soon, which is why other motorists were losing their minds when they chanced upon a Tesla Model S that appeared to have no driver in it. Fortunately, YouTube magician Rahat was actually on board the Model S, albeit hidden behind a prop back rest that was designed to make it look like nobody was sitting in the driver’s seat.
Naturally, the people who passed by the Model S had some pretty incredible reactions upon seeing the Model S. There was shock, amusement, and a general feeling of what-the-heck-is-going-on. At one point, one person even lamented, in his bewildered state, that a literal driverless car driving on the interstate is the future cometh today. All in all, it’s a hilarious prank that only got funnier when Rahat quickly got back into the front seat, much to the confusion of the people in the other cars.
Maybe one day the industry will really have driverless cars. For one, Uber is already looking into it so that future could arrive sooner than later. But it’s not happening today just yet and as the people proved with their reactions, seeing a car without a driver going about its own business is going to take a lot of getting used to.
