An American has filmed himself testing his Tesla Model 3's Full Self-Driving beta on his own children and the video has been removed from YouTube, BFMTV reports on Monday.
This autonomous driving system brakes automatically if an obstacle is detected.
In a first sequence, the child of Ted Park stands in the middle of the road and the vehicle brakes at a good distance.
In a second he is crossing the road and again the car avoids him in time.
Does Tesla Full Self-Driving Beta really run over kids?
Thanks to @MinimalDuck and @_tadpark for your help on this!

“I have already tried the beta version of Full Self-Driving.
I will entrust the lives of my children to him, ”responded Ted Park, owner of a Tesla.
The man nevertheless clarified that he still had his hands on the wheel and that he was not driving more than eight miles per hour (12 km / h) during the experience.
273 accidents in less than a year
YouTube channel Whole Mars Catalog disagreed and removed the video, saying it "does not allow content that shows a minor participating in dangerous activities or encourages them to engage in dangerous activities."
The images, however, are still visible on Twitter.
Tesla's FSD technology does not make the vehicle completely autonomous.
It is available for an additional €12,015 and a monthly subscription of €199.
To install it, the Tesla driver must already achieve a certain level of security.
The US Federal Safety Agency has released the numbers: Between July 20, 2021 and May 20, 2022, Tesla's Autopilot system was involved in 273 crashes.
