A Tesla owner in the United States has allegedly covered up the car’s windscreen while driving on a public highway to beat its driver monitoring systems.

Tesla boss Elon Musk has said the car maker could offer Full Self-Driving without human supervision as soon as 2025 – but one US driver has allegedly driven their Tesla with a deliberately blocked front window already.

The owner of a red Tesla Model 3 in the US has been reported to the police after allegedly being filmed using Full Self-Driving (FSD) with a completely blocked front windscreen along a public highway.

US website Carscoops has published footage of the incident from social media channel Reddit with the electric car allegedly being driven autonomously – with the driver appearing to using a sun shield to completely block their view out of the front windscreen.

The clip shows the car changing lanes and accelerating past traffic as it travels along the highway – through heavy traffic – all while the driver seemingly cannot see out of the front of the vehicle.
