Fisher, notwithstanding, tracked down that the Tesla vehicle "drove all over the half-mile path of our track, more than once, always failing to take note of that nobody was steering the ship, always failing to take note of that there was nobody contacting the directing wheel, never noticing there was no weight on the seat".
"It was somewhat startling when we understood that it was so natural to crush the protections, which we demonstrated were obviously inadequate," he was cited as saying.
