A friend of mine who works at Tesla says the reason they put the roadster on top of the Falcon Heavy is they wanted to test how well the self-driving system works in outer space.

It looks like it still needs some tweaks.




I'd be interested in seeing the crash test results when it slaps into the side of an asteroid at 13,600 m/s

Hopefully the dummy has a few G sensors on board...
