Of course, he didn’t drive it, Cedric the Entertainer did. It turns out the comedian was the one to chauffeur the soul icon recently in his Tesla Model S, and the artist was quite keen of the EV. The 51-year-old entertainer talked about the interesting experience on Monday, at the Conan talk show, and that’s not event the most amusing part.
Comedians will always tell a funny story but making jokes about a man’s health condition sure is something risky even for Cedric the Entertainer. However, his remark was quite subtle and went out safe enough not to upset anybody.
So here’s how things went on, according to the comedian. Stevie Wonder asked him, through an intermediary, if he could take a ride in Cedric’s Tesla, the answer was obviously yes. After a couple of spins around the block, the famous artist had another request only this one was quite peculiar.
“This is cool, you should let me drive.” It’s what Wonder allegedly told Cedric, and here’s where a self-driving feature would have come in handy. Sure, Elon Musk did predict that autonomous driving cars will take over and turn human driving extinct not by natural means but by force. But we’re not there yet.
“Stevie, Stevie, the car’s electric, not magic,” Cedric the Entertainer then told him. Autonomous cars are not here yet, but the idea is far from being magic.
In fact, judging by the pace technology evolves today, we might be quite close from seeing that magic turning into real life, pure engineering, but no hocus-pocus whatsoever.
Still, from this little comedy gig we did manage to find out something, and that’s what Cedric is driving.
