Elon Musk: Version of Tesla's Autopilot has a 'Mad Max' mode

Tesla vehicles might soon be equipped for that special trip to the Thunderdome. Tesla CEO Elon Musk hinted at a "Mad Max" mode -- named after the post-apocalyptic adventure from director George Miller -- for its self-driving system Autopilot. On Sunday night, Musk shared a tweet from November 2017 by user Jon Gold, complementing the entrepreneur on the "Mad Max" inspired image of Tesla's Semi self-driving truck. "Tesla Semi Truck in Mad Max Mode," wrote Musk as he shared the tweet. It initially seemed like Musk was cracking a joke, but in a subsequent tweet, Musk said "Mad Max" mode was a real thing.
