In fact, after trying numerous approaches and trying to work through the car’s software controls, Deeter found himself driving to a board meeting with one hand on the steering wheel and one holding shut the driver-side door. “It wasn’t terribly smart, but I didn’t have time to call an Uber.”

Don't do things like this.

Agreed. Call an Uber anyway; no board meeting is worth risking your life, or someone else's for that matter.

He's not driving a '55 mack truck. The Tesla has power steering. You don't need two hands to turn the wheel. As long as he's willing to not screw around with the touch screen for the duration of the drive it's barely less safe than driving a manual and resting your hand on the shifter.

The Tesla has power steering, which is controlled by the same software that decided that the door doesn't need to stay closed while driving.

If I take my hand off the shifter, the door of the car doesn't fly open.
