I don't know why Elon's spending all that money on Level 3.14 or whatever self-driving.

Trunk Monkey + Driver Orangutan FTW.

Lol-the music works well at any speed. I sped it up to 1.5 and the  music got more dramatic right as he went past the tiger cage. smiley

I’m calling bull. 

I bet it has a left hand drive set up. Someone driving from the passenger seat. A monkey wouldn’t care if it hit a curb or anything else for that matter.

Primate, yes, but not a monkey. Might be faked, that's always possible. 
 

Still, it wouldn't be inconceivable for an orangutan to learn to do this, and the input to the steering wheel matches the direction of travel.

I really wanted to see him get in the cart or out of the cart so I was googling. I found this. Apparently it is the real deal.

If he can back up a trailer then he is better off than many of the over the road drivers that come to my factory!
