Cheating the "hands on wheel sensor"?
I passed a Tesla Model S on the M1 the other day. As I went past (anyone else noticed all Teslas drive at 60mph?) I noticed something very odd. The driver had a 330ml PET bottle of water jammed into the spokes of the steering wheel. At first I thought that perhaps 80k GBP doesnt even buy you a cup holder but then I wondered if perhaps there was another reason. Could this third of a kg weight on the wheel trick the car into thinking that the wheel is being held by a driver?
