Elon Musk has responded after a video was uploaded to Pornhub showing a couple getting it on while inside a Tesla on autopilot. Isn't 2019 weird? Porn star Taylor Jackson and her boyfriend filmed themselves having sex inside a moving Tesla and shared it on Pornhub last week, where it ended up trending on the site. Although not directly mentioning the video, Musk appeared to allude to it on Twitter, where he wrote: "Turns out there's more ways to use Autopilot than we imagined." He followed that tweet with a second which read: "Shoulda seen it coming..." Advert 10 Top bants. According to Tesla's website: "Autopilot 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." Which, if you've seen the video, you'll know this couple wasn't ready to do. My bad ‍♀️ - Pornhub ARIA (@Pornhub) May 9, 2019 Speaking to Insider, Jackson said she wasn't scared but that she did accidentally knock out the autopilot system after bumping the steering wheel. Well, that sounds bloody terrifying. Advert 10 She added: "It was mainly a straight road, but it had a lot of traffic. "We had a lot of cars driving by us." Jackson told The Register: "Earlier this year I was on a road trip with my boyfriend and he asked me to have sex with him while driving. "We both thought it was hot 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." Advert 10 A couple filmed themselves having sex inside a moving Tesla on autopilot.

I wouldn't recommend it since it is dangerous."<doc-sep>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>It didn’t take long for the first mainstream drivers to realize the automobile’s potential as a place where they could get busy. The early 20th century was a much more puritanical time. Cars meant that you could get away from mom and dad to get some much-needed alone time with that cute neighbor who was making eyes at you during last weekend’s box social. These early horndog motorists were also very quick to realize the potential of self-driving to take these rudimentary fuck machines to the next level. In 1983’s The Automobile and American Culture, Ford historian David Lewis describes a postcard from the 1930s where a female passenger asks the male driver to keep both hands on the wheel. “If only the car would steer itself,” was his reply. Those 1930s ad-men knew their way around a euphemism. As mainstream cars with ever-greater autonomous capabilities hit the roads, then, it was only a matter of time before people started banging in them. Some of these sex-havers think there’s money to be made. These naturally include adult performers, who are always interested in finding new sources of novelty and who are starting to seize on this opportunity by using increasingly autonomous cars. Most recently, an adult performer named Taylor Jackson went viral (on Pornhub, at least) after filming a scene in what appears to be a Tesla driving on Autopilot. Taylor didn’t immediately respond to our request for comment, but it does appear that she is something of a self-driving-car-sex pioneer. Though it’s illegal, it definitely appears that her partner takes his hands off the wheel for at least part of the encounter, and when Pornhub’s (somewhat) SFW Instagram account tweeted an image from the video, they said they were “reporting” her to “Elon.” Tesla Autopilot has been in the news more than usual recently, and it was even the subject of a special investor event at Tesla, where CEO Elon Musk said the self-driving capabilities would be safe enough for passengers to remove their hands from the wheel by the end of the year. He also announced that Tesla’s self-driving capabilities would be so much more advanced than competitors that present-day Teslas would actually grow in value as more autonomy capabilities are added, an idea that’s been treated as something of an anathema in the automotive industry. With boasts like that, it’s little surprise that some entrepreneurial-minded adult entertainers are looking to carve out followings using this emerging new technology. After all, adult content has often been at the technological foreground for the very simple reason that it has to be. When an industry is stigmatized, it needs to be innovative, and when you need to innovate, you come up with ideas like how to process online credit card transactions anonymously, or how to invest and build wealth using bitcoin. Though likely illegal and extremely dangerous, Jackson (or the performer who goes by Jackson) is carrying on that spirit of innovation by pushing the limits of new tech and seeing just what Musk’s self-driving robo-Teslas are capable of. We just hope she was on an empty road, and that her scene partner was paying more attention to his driving than he seemed.<doc-sep>
A Los Angeles adult film performer and her boyfriend found a perhaps predictable way to use their time while riding in a Tesla on Autopilot mode last week -- and their online post drew the attention of Tesla CEO Elon Musk. The couple was on a road trip when they talked about having sex while using the car's semi-autonomous feature, Taylor Jackson told Business Insider. After the tryst, Jackson posted a video of her and her boyfriend performing various sex acts inside the moving electric vehicle and uploaded it to adult website PornHub. "Holy s---, I made @Tesla the #1 search on Pornhub," Jackson wrote on Twitter. She also tagged Musk on the post.
