Elon Musk Abuses Tesla Autopilot on *60 Minutes*
Leslie Stahl asked Elon Musk on Sunday's episode of 60 Minutes, as the scene showed her riding on the freeway with Musk in a red Tesla Model 3. "Yeah," the CEO answered, settling back into the driver's seat, his hands clasped together over his stomach, after turning on the car's semiautonomous driving system. "Now you're not driving at all," Stahl said, incredulously, looking over at his feet. Musk went on to demonstrate the car's new Navigate on Autopilot feature, which lets it change lanes by itself. Stahl's wowed reaction--"Oh my goodness"--matches that of many people when they first see the Tesla take control of its steering and speed. But her questioning, trying to gauge Musk's involvement in the driving process, highlights a significant issue Tesla faces as it rolls out ever more advanced Autopilot features.
