A couple guys must have been testing Tesla's Auto Pilot.

The car hit a tree at high speed. The driver's seat was empty.

There was a local incident here that surprised me. A woman and her young
daughter were startled in the parking lot of a small high-end grocery store
when a Tesla came very close to them. There was no driver nor anyone
visible. Looks like someone about to leave the store summoned the car
to pick them up. I knew that was possible, I knew that they had been testing
driverless cars in some cities, but I thought so far they always had a person
in the car. I had no idea that with a production Tesla you could do this.
I would have been totally surprised if I saw it happen to me. And a car
owner, I for sure would not have done this unless I could watch what the
car was doing.

Tesla does have a "feature" called "Summon". You use a smartphone to
command the car to come to where you are standing.

Video here about how well (or not!) it works.

And yet another way for us to get fatter. Maybe people can use that feature
after a workout at the gym.
