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. If I were you, I’d spring for the tinted windows.<doc-sep>Elon Musk; Taylor Jackson L: Getty Images R: Video Still Well, that happened. Someone decided to test the limits of the Tesla Model X(XX) and its ability to drive itself regardless of what's happening inside the vehicle by filming porn inside the car. Sorry, you'll have to screw up your search history and find the clip on your own, but we can tell you a couple of things: The adult performer, uh, "featured" in the clip is a hot redhead and Elon Musk seems pretty okay with all of this, despite the fact he and his company would prefer vehicle operators remain alert no matter what. ADVERTISEMENT Thanks for watching! Visit Website ADVERTISEMENT Thanks for watching! Visit Website ADVERTISEMENT Thanks for watching! Visit Website Taylor Jackson told the Register that she and her boyfriend were on a road trip and he suggested the tryst. "We both thought it was hot," she continued, "and joked about doing it again and putting it on Pornhub. We thought someone had to have done it before so we looked it up, but we couldn't find a single video. A few weeks later I signed up for a Pornhub account and this video was one of the first few videos I made." For someone who appears to be relatively new to the adult entertainment business, Jackson hit a home run. Further proof: Elon Musk's apparent response: "Turns out there’s more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined," Musk tweeted, before following up with "Shoulda seen it coming." Credit where it's due: Elon Musk is funnier than your average billionaire. The clip is pretty simple: It's from the driver's point of view and he picks up Jackson as if she's a Tinder date. Things progress from there, the Tesla zigging and zagging through traffic on its own as the couple gets busy in the front. Jackson said in a Business Insider interview that she did bump the steering wheel while filming, knocking the car out of autopilot, but that was the only snafu. She did, however, also say in her Register interview that she wouldn't recommend anyone else do this, "since it is dangerous." The most sensible response of all came from Pornhub, in a comment left on Jackson's video: "Reporting you to Elon for not having two hands on the wheel with the autopilot enabled." In all seriousness, though, don't try this in your own Tesla. Or any other vehicle with an autopilot function. Especially a passenger plane.<doc-sep>Hi! We notice you're using an ad blocker.

So one would think that he would have little time to keep abreast of such subjects as what search terms are trending on the tube site Pornhub. Apparently, however, one would be wrong. The CEO recently tweeted a tongue-in-cheek response to a Pornhub video featuring a couple having sex in a Tesla using the Autopilot feature. “Turns out there’s more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined,” he tweeted, which he then followed up with the daddest of all-time dad jokes: “Shoulda seen it coming …” Related stories Jack White Stages Free Concert for Tesla Employees at California Plant Elon Musk Files to Dismiss 'Pedo' Defamation Suit, Saying Insult Was 'Not Serious' Turns out there’s more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 9, 2019 Shoulda seen it coming … — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 9, 2019 The video, posted last week, featured porn performer Taylor Jackson having sex with her boyfriend in a moving Tesla. Although Tesla’s website states that its autopilot technology is only somewhat autonomous, and that drivers should keep “their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any time,” this does not appear to be the case during much of the (obviously NSFW) 8-minute clip: though the driver is occasionally seen lightly placing a hand on the steering wheel, his view of the road is largely blocked by Jackson whilst the two are engaged in vigorous coitus. Story continues Apparently, Pornhub viewers weren’t overly disturbed by the couple’s flagrant violations of motor vehicle safety protocols: the now-trending video now has 6.3 million views, with Jackson (who has rebranded on Twitter as Tesla Taylor) tagging both Musk and Tesla in a tweet: “Holy shit, I made @Tesla the #1 search on Pornhub.” In an interview with Insider, Jackson said that she had experience with the autopilot feature, so she wasn’t overly concerned about getting into an accident: “It was mainly a straight road, but it had a lot of traffic. We had a lot of cars driving by us,” she said. She should, however, probably have been a lot more concerned: Tesla, which has not yet publicly commented on the video, is currently under investigation for crashes that purportedly involved the autopilot feature. It is also facing a lawsuit from the family of former Apple engineer named Walter Huang, who died in a March 2018 accident while his Tesla Model X was in Autopilot mode. For his part, Musk has been pretty cavalier about criticism regarding Tesla’s Autopilot feature, using a 60 Minutes interview with journalist Lesley Stahl last year as an opportunity to show off the feature, keeping his hands off the wheel while driving the car. As recently as last month, Musk boldly predicted in an event for Tesla investors that “a year from now, we’ll have over a million cars with full self-driving, software… everything.” Sign up for Rolling Stone’s Newsletter.

Elon Musk has joked about a couple who filmed themselves having sex in a moving Tesla while in autopilot. Taylor Jackson, who has dubbed herself 'Tesla Taylor', filmed herself having sex with her boyfriend while the vehicle was in self-driving mode with other cars speeding past. The 19-year-old proudly shared the clip on Pornhub where it got more than 2 million views in two days. Now the Tesla CEO has reacted to this use of the self-driving setting by tweeting about it last night. He wrote: 'Turns out there's more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined.' Musk then joked that he, 'Shoulda seen it coming…' Jackson admitted that the pair knocked the car out of autopilot during their sexual encounter, while other vehicles drove past them. Taylor Jackson, 19 (pictured at the start of the video), who has been dubbed 'Tesla Taylor,' filmed herself having sex with her boyfriend in a moving Tesla with the self-driving function engaged and uploaded it to Pornhub Tesla CEO Elon Musk joked that 'there's more ways to use autopilot than we imagined' after Taylor Jackson posted a clip Elon Musk reacted to the adult film made in a Tesla by joking about it in a tweet posted to his 26.4 million followers She said: 'I did bump the steering wheel, knocked it out of Autopilot. It was mainly a straight road but it had a lot of traffic. We had a lot of cars driving by us.' Some social media users did not appreciate Musk's joke, with one replying: 'This is dangerous…please all kidding aside, be clear about dangers.' Another said: 'There was a story where a driver using 'auto pilot' decided to look down to text. Guess what happened next? Yup - she KILLED someone.' The Los Angeles-based sex worker told Insider the couple got the idea to have sex in the moving vehicle and to film it while on a road trip. 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. Pornhub made a joke about the video, posting a screengrab of an intimate scene from the recording on April 30 on its Instagram page, with the caption: 'Reporting you to Elon for not having two hands on the wheel with autopilot enabled.' Jackson (at left and right) admitted that the reckless duo knocked the car out of autopilot during their sexual encounter, while other vehicles drove past them. 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' After hearing about Jackson's sex film, Tesla CEO Elon Musk joked that he, 'Shoulda seen it coming…' Jackson said she wasn't concerned for their safety while shooting the home video, because she had experience using the self-driving function in a Tesla vehicle before, despite accidents that have occurred while the feature has been in use. 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.
