It’s not easy to go from porn-famous to actual-famous, but thanks to some savvy self-promotion, a can-do attitude, and access to the latest in driver assistive technology, Taylor Jackson — or Tesla Taylor, as she is now known on Twitter — may be able to achieve just that. A video clip from a scene she shot in a Tesla driving on autopilot quickly garnered millions of views on Pornhub, enough to get picked up by the mainstream press and, eventually, gain notice from Elon Musk himself. “I never expected it to happen. When Elon Musk commented, my heart felt like it was going to explode. I was so excited; I never expected it.” Jackson, which is her stage name, tells Inverse. “The reaction was not what I expected.” In a phone interview, Jackson and her boyfriend, who runs a business and asked to be referred to only as “the boyfriend,” explained that the couple (and they are an actual couple) met on a dating service in December. Jackson began performing and modeling a few months later in February. They first got the idea to try having sex with the Autopilot deployed during a long road trip. After weighing the success of this first verifiable instance of Autopilot-assistive banging alongside Jackson’s ambition to get into modeling, a light bulb went off. “We thought it would have been a hot video, and we thought there would for sure be something like that on Pornhub already,” the boyfriend explains. “But there was nothing anywhere. So we thought this could be a really good video. We shot actually four.” "My ass hit the steering wheel and knocked it out of autopilot for a while.” — Taylor Jackson Their Autopilot experiment appears to already have paid off. When Inverse first reached out to Jackson, she had a few hundred followers — she now has something like 3,000 as of Friday afternoon, with more pouring in by the hour. So what’s it actually like, really, to do it in a (sort of) self-driving car? “It’s scary! It’s a little scary … My ass hit the steering wheel and knocked it out of autopilot for a while,” Jackson says. “It is a huge thrill. It makes your heart race, and it’s fun to be in public. I’m sure people looked over. I loved doing it.” The pair says that, despite the fact that some people in Jackson’s hometown have identified her, they plan to continue making similar movies. A sequel is definitely on the way, they say, and while they were a little demure about the details (“It’s a surprise!” Jackson exclaimed), her boyfriend did reveal that their subsequent film will feature a third performer. Now, before you run off and try this yourself, even Jackson and her boyfriend conceded that it’s dangerous. Her boyfriend says he has been a Tesla owner for several years, and that while he did in fact take his hands off the wheel (I mean, you’d kind of have to), he did feel like he had to keep his eyes on the road for the entire encounter. “It’s nerve-racking and a little difficult,” Jackson says. “I’m a very petite person … For people that are different sized, it’s a little tight of a space.” A Tesla Model S with Autopilot driving the car. Tesla Despite the danger, illegality, and tight quarters, many, many more are set to follow in this young couple’s footsteps. Sixty percent of university students report having had sex in a car, according to a study published in 2016. That number is expected to rise sharply as autonomous cars begin taking to roads, enough so that autonomous vehicles are expected to some day replace “by the hour” motels and possibly even become the de-facto venues for sex tourism, according to a recent study in the Annals of Tourism Research. While estimates for when these roving fuck machines will hit the roads varies widely, there is increasingly a strong consensus it will happen within the next two decades. By 2040, 75 percent of the cars on the road are expected to be autonomous, according to KPMG, a consultancy.

The novice adult film entrepreneur later uploaded the video to Pornhub, where it garnered lots of attention. Jackson and her lover apparently weren't injured in the reckless escapade, and survived to broadcast their romp. 'We joked around when we were done and thought that would make a great porno,' she said. 'We looked it up on Pornhub because we thought someone had to have done it and we couldn't find anything.' Jackson then decide she and her man should be the first to publish footage of such a stunt, and uploaded the video to Pornhub.

Official Tesla policy is that autopilot mode is 'intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any time.' Musk has said he thinks the feature will be ready for completely hands-free use, however, by the end of 2019, when he anticipates his cars will be safer at driving themselves than humans are behind the wheel. He said the autopilot function seemed to be improving rapidly. 'I could be wrong, but it appears to be the case that Tesla is vastly ahead of everyone,' Musk said while being interviewed with MIT research scientist Lex Fridman, shared on YouTube on April 12. After the video went live on the site, purveyors of porn went crazy over the clip. 'Holy s***, I made @Tesla the #1 search on Pornhub,' Jackson tweeted on May 2. The adult film star said an encore performance is not out of the question. 'The feedback has been great so far and the comments, for the most part, have been amusing,' Jackson said.

San Francisco : Tesla CEO Elon Musk has courted fresh controversy after approving adult actor Taylor Jackson's sex act with a man in the driver's seat while riding an Autopilot-enabled Tesla car. Musk, who is facing scrutiny from the US regulators over his irresponsible tweets, invited fresh controversy with his tweet. "Turns out there's more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined," he replied to Jackson late on Thursday. "Shoulda seen it coming." His tweets sparked jokes, memes, GIFs and criticism on the micro-blogging platform. "I love Teslas, but I honestly hope you don't do that again. Life is a gift and it's often too short to do risky stuff," tweeted a user. Porbhub also tweeted: "Reporting you (Jackson) to Elon for not having two hands on the wheel with autopilot enabled." All autopilot crashes so far involved human drivers willing to control the vehicle at any time and yet couldn't stop the accidents. A pedestrian was killed in 2018 by a self-driving Uber while the driver was watching content streaming service Hulu. Tesla has already made it clear that its assistive autopilot technology can't be used without driver's input. Tesla is also being sued by the family of Wei "Walter" Huang, a software engineer who died when his Model X with Autopilot crashed into a highway safety barrier in 2018. On the other hand, after weeks of negotiation with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over his controversial Twitter activities, Musk has agreed to more specific oversight on his tweets about the company. According to the settlement reached between the two parties, all tweets from Musk about Tesla's financial health, sales or delivery numbers would have to be pre-approved by a company lawyer.
