Not a long time ago, we found out that wearing a cone costume in public is actually a safe thing to do, as Teslas would still detect you and brake to avoid an impact.
And as it turns out, Teslas love cones so much that they see them everywhere around, including when they’re actually human beings.
This is the case of this drive thru attendant who was detected as a cone by a Model 3, even though, as we can all see in the photo, it’s pretty clear there’s a person in front of the Tesla.
The picture, which went viral today with tens of thousands of votes on reddit, also has a drive thru attendant confirming that ironically the Tesla isn’t very far from the truth.
“As a drive thru attendant I feel like a cone,” they say in a comment.
In case you’re wondering what’s the role of a drive thru attendant/cone, the answer is as simply as it could be: they are supposed to take your order and help move the line quicker.
“I work for a well known Chicken place that is closed on Sundays. We have people outside all the time. People to take orders, people to take your money, people to walk your food to your car so we don't have to worry about people staying in order or food getting done too soon, people to hand out sauce,” the same drive thru attendant that feels like a cone explains.
As for the Model 3 detecting the human being as a traffic cone, this shouldn’t be such a big deal, as long as it still reacts accordingly to avoid a possible collision. And for those people who think that computers objectifying human beings is unacceptable, you should try to see the glass half full: at least, we’re not detected as speed bumps. Because we all know what happens to speed bumps.
