Self-driving Tesla tackles the UK’s most confusing roundabout
Elon Musk’s self-driving Tesla car has taken on one of it’s biggest challenges yet - Swindon’s notorious ‘Magic Roundabout’.
The M4 roadway, composed of five mini roundabouts orbiting one central island, has earned itself the reputation as one of Britain’s most confusing junctions.
In a post on the company’s European X account, Tesla posted footage of one of their cars in a driver-supervised self-driving mode, navigating the roundabout with ease.
Tesla’s ‘Full Self-Driving’-capable cars have not yet been given full approval in UK, despite the government fast-tracking test pilots of self-driving taxi and private hire cars from 2026.
