Overnight on October 14, 2015, Tesla introduced an semi-autonomous driving system for owners of the Model S. Within a day, owners began uploading videos of themselves being driven around.

You can see the fear wash over people's faces when cars slow down in front of them or the Model S automatically changes lanes.

They brace themselves for impact. They freeze and pray.

You can tell that part of them just wants to throw their hands on the steering wheel and take over.

But slowly, as the car makes the right choices over and over, the human drivers slowly relax and enjoy the experience. And some of them even seem to forget that they're being driven around by a car: something that wasn't possible only hours before.
