A TESLA driver being held up by a horse-drawn carriage on the road has shown how their car got confused.

The video was uploaded to Viral Hog by user RealRusty in Switzerland.

It was shot using a smartphone from inside a Tesla Model Y, which is making its way along a road.

The car in front pulls out to overtake a horse-drawn carriage and the Tesla moves up behind it to wait at low speed.

Tesla has what it calls 'visualisation' tech that can display things on its screen that are located around the car outside.

Things like cars, vans, truck, people and road furniture can be picked up and displayed.

It turns out that the horse and cart hasn't been added, though, judging by what came up on the screen here.

It's hard to make out, but it looks as if the Tesla first has it down as a motorbike, but this quickly changes to a huge HGV.

The HGV then does a 90-degree turn, before becoming a pick-up truck for a moment and then returning to an HGV.

The HGV then flips 180 degrees and is shown facing the Tesla.

But it isn't done there, because next up it becomes a man walking along the road ahead with the pick-up back and just ahead of him.

Lastly, the pick-up flicks back to an HGV and then the walking man disappears.

The people in the Tesla can be heard laughing at how confused the Tesla was by the horse and cart.

The uploader commented on the video: "We were driving in our Tesla Model Y when this horse-drawn carriage appeared in front of us.

"Unable to pass, we stayed behind and watched as Tesla's visualization tried to spot it.

"Starting with a motorcycle, to a car, to a truck backing up, it was all there! Fortunately, we recorded it all with the smartphone!"
