Reddit report: accidental use of new 'emergency drive away' feature

Unconfirmed: a Reddit user says that, around 6 AM on a Sunday in Austin, while charging his vehicle before heading to the F1 race, he heard a noise and saw the new 'emergency drive away' feature in action. According to the author, the driver, who looked exhausted and had only half-read the screen prompts, realized what had happened when he got out of the car. The author suggests Tesla add stronger warnings, such as the screen flashing red and an emergency sound similar to the 'take over immediately' alert in FSD and Autopilot. The post includes no confirmation from Tesla.
