Even if the "supervisor" in the driver's seat is nominally alert, it will likely take several seconds for them to figure out that something bad is going on and to take over and fix things. (A gedanken-only experiment: someone in the passenger seat grabs the wheel and mashes your foot onto the accelerator; how long would it take you to regain control?)

yeah, especially since telsa touts its acceleration as a selling point: 0 to 60 in less than 2 seconds for some models.

by the time you realize and react, it's easily too late.

Maybe Leon’s surveillance machine was just trying to get a better look inside the building.
