Tesla Europe, Middle East & Africa (@teslaeurope)

Last week I got permission to drive again. First time in a year! Why? A year ago, I blacked out behind the wheel and crashed straight into another car. We had our three kids in the back (our youngest was 2 months old at the time), but thankfully everyone was okay. Turned out to be a form of epilepsy, so I wasn't allowed to drive for a year. (Which is super practical with 3 young kids 🙈 My wife drove me pretty much everywhere for a whole year ❤️) The thing is... Being allowed to drive and feeling safe are two different things. What if it ever happens again? Hopefully never, but there's no way to be 100% sure. So yesterday, we picked up our Tesla Model Y with Full Self Drive 🎉 I've followed the technology for years, mainly because I'm a nerd and think it's cool (after all, my business runs on AI from A-Z) 🤓 But after the accident, it stopped being just a fun tech feature. Sure, I still have to pay attention, but it's amazing how well it drives (better than some humans 😂). For us, it feels like an extra layer of protection. Funny how quickly technology can go from "that would be cool" to "I'm really glad this exists."
