No, a self-driving Tesla won't do over 85

The car requires tension on the steering wheel to stay in Autopilot, so one would have to jury rig some sort of override, like hanging a small weight on it

If the car senses you are not there, it will alarm, slow down and put on flashers

Easy to slow it down, just get ahead of it and slow down and match its lane change

Car drives better than I do, the most scary thing to me is taking it out of Autopilot and forgetting I'm in charge
