Jeremy Clarkson" feared for his life" in Elon Musk driverless taxi that ignored him and ran red lights The Clarkson's Farm star detailed the ordeal in his Sunday Times column after riding a Tesla Cybercab in Austin Texas, a two passenger vehicle with no steering wheel or pedals. He boarded after it opened its door on sensing his phone but it failed to move. He told the screen "Hey Grok can we set off now?" It replied "We are currently en route to your destination" despite staying still. He abandoned the booking after half an hour. A replacement Cybercab refused to stop near his destination saying "Looking for a safe place to pull over" while passing suitable spots. It ran red lights, the screen glitched, stopped for a non existent pedestrian and debated right of way with an autonomous shopping trolley. Clarkson said "It was no longer listening to me. It wouldn't stop. It wouldn't open the doors. And I began to worry. Elon and I had a bit of a falling out a while back and I thought it might be taking me to the room where he develops lasers. 'No Mr Clarkson. I expect you to die.'" He added "But I must admit that for ten minutes or so I was a bit worried because I was in a car that was driving itself while seemingly having some kind of electronic hot flush. And there was absolutely nothing I could do." The Cybercab eventually reached the destination. He said he would not ride one again and would stick with "Mr Crikey" if they launch in London.
