Cuban Grandmother's First Encounter with Tesla's Autopilot in Miami: "This is Too Much Already"

A Cuban grandmother has become a TikTok sensation thanks to a humorous video shared by her granddaughter, @ale_mojarrieta. The clip features the elderly woman experiencing Tesla's Autopilot for the first time while cruising through the streets of Miami. Captured by Alejandra, the video has sparked hundreds of comments due to the grandmother's candid reaction.

In the footage, Alejandra is seated in the driver's seat as the Tesla operates autonomously. She tries to assure her grandmother of the system's safety. However, the grandmother's response is priceless. "No, Alejandra, put your hands on the wheel," she insists with visible concern. Amused, the granddaughter replies, "I'm not doing anything; next time you want to go somewhere, I'll just enter the address." But instead of easing her worries, she jokingly adds that sometimes the car doesn't stop. "I don't like this. The wheel is the wheel. This is too much already," the grandmother concludes.

The grandmother's expressions of disbelief and hesitation highlight the generational divide when it comes to embracing technological advances. While many see this kind of technology as the future of transportation, others, like the video’s star, remain skeptical due to the lack of human control.

The video has elicited laughter among TikTok users, who have flooded the comments section with jokes and laughing emojis. Although Tesla's Autopilot is designed to enhance driving safety and convenience, experiences like this grandmother's show that widespread trust in such technology is still a work in progress.

This clip is yet another example of how social media can capture and share unique and entertaining moments, connecting millions of people through everyday scenarios. Would you dare to try Autopilot?
