A woman gave birth to a baby in a Tesla while it was driving on auto-pilot

Auto-driving has its critics but I'm guessing this baby won't grow up to be one of them:

One Pennsylvania baby was born with a lot of drive.

The "Tesla baby," as nurses call her, was born in Philadelphia while her mother was in a Tesla that was driving itself on the Tesla Autopilot system.

Yiran Sherry was getting her son Rafa ready for school at roughly 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 9 when her water broke. She told her husband, Keating, to take Rafa to school and then come back and get her.

"I knew," Sherry told the Philadelphia Inquirer regarding her contractions late on Sept. 8. "I said to Keating, 'Today's the day, but I don't think it's happening anytime soon.'"

"I don't think it's happening anytime soon" turned to be off by just a skosh. Thankfully the baby was born just fine, though I imagine the mother definitely needed to "recharge" after the whole experience.

Also, we would be remiss if we didn't point out that the great commentator Bethany Mandel already sorta pulled this one off a few years ago:

In cars or out of them, a newborn baby is always great news!
