Recently, X platform blogger Jack Brandt shared a story about Tesla FSD (fully autonomous driving) "saving lives", which attracted a lot of attention, and even Tesla officials left messages in the comment area. The incident occurred at 3 a.m. on November 15, 2025. The blogger's father suddenly suffered from severe chest pain and began to lose consciousness. He reluctantly called his son and informed him that he could no longer drive.
As an authorized driver, Jack remotely changed the navigation destination of his father's Model Y through the Tesla App and set it to the nearest Tanner Medical Center emergency room.
When my father was on the verge of death, he tried his best to switch the vehicle's speed mode to Mad Max (the fastest and relatively safe mode).
The FSD system automatically performed complex operations, exiting the highway, making a safe U-turn, and re-planning the route without manual intervention. Finally, it accurately stopped at the front entrance of the emergency room, and the medical staff quickly treated him. At this time, my father was close to being completely comatose.
The doctor confirmed that the patient had a massive STEMI myocardial infarction (the most dangerous type of heart disease), and emergency surgery successfully unblocked three blocked coronary arteries, saving his life.
The receiving doctor made it clear: "If the patient had stopped to wait for the ambulance or continued driving to the original destination, the patient would have likely died on the spot."
After encountering such a frightening moment, the blogger summed up his experience,He reminded that the authorized driver setting is a key prerequisite for the success of the incident, and called on Tesla owners: "Add family members as authorized drivers immediately, which may save lives at critical moments."
