Even in space it's possible to get hit by a self-driving Tesla.

  Wasn’t it a roadster? Do those even have AutoDrive?

  Is that car in some kind of orbit, or did we just send it?

      That’s actually pretty cool. That thing might be forgot about and then found again 10,000 years from now

  Did those early Roadsters have self driving tech? I thought they were more barebones sports cars, not like the current gimmick-dumpsters.

  I would argue that particular car is not driving.

    I would argue that one is driving much better than one in self-driving mode, because it can remain on course.

    It would still be hurtling towards you nonetheless. And probably at greater relative speed than usual!

      But you see, it will be doing so in a predictable way. Unlike a Tesla that will change its mind at any point.

  Well technically the Earth is in space, and anyone who has been hit by a self-driving car was on Earth, so people already have been hit by self-driving cars in space.
