Joshua Brown loved his all-electric #Tesla Model S so much he nicknamed it Tessy.
And he celebrated the feature that made it possible for him to cruise the highways, making YouTube videos of himself driving hands-free. In the first nine months he owned it, Mr. Brown put more than 45,000 miles on the car.

Mr. Brown’s most recent video was his most popular. Titled “Autopilot Saves Model S,” it shows Mr. Brown driving on an interstate highway from Cleveland to Canton. A white truck cuts in front of Mr. Brown’s vehicle, and by his account, the Tesla’s Autopilot feature swerves the car to the right, avoiding a collision.
After Elon Musk, Tesla’s founder, called attention to the video on Twitter, it went viral.
Mr. Brown seemed to be elated.
“He had said, ‘For something to catch Elon Musk’s eye, I can die and go to heaven now,’” said a neighbor, Krista Kitchen, choking up. “He was absolutely thrilled – and then a couple weeks later he died.”
Et le NYT, outre la reproduction du tweet d’Iron Man himself, donne le lien de cette vidéo…
