One Uber driver in Washington state is crediting Telsa's new self-driving feature for saving his life after it prevented him from being involved in a serious accident.

Jon Hall uploaded a video to YouTube Wednesday showing how he narrowly avoided a car accident when a vehicle suddenly turned in front of him on State Route 99 near downtown Seattle.

The footage, which was filmed on his dashboard camera, shows Hall driving down the highway in the pitch-black on a rainy morning.

He had just dropped off a passenger and was cruising along in his Telsa Model S P85D around 45 mph when another car suddenly made an unexpected sharp left-hand turn in front of him, cutting him off.

Thanks to the autopilot technology in his Telsa, the vehicle immediately stopped, saving him and the vehicle from a potentially deadly head-on collision.

Under his video, that has been watched more than 483,000 times, Hall wrote that he 'did not touch the brake' and that the 'car did all the work.'

'I wasn't even able to honk the horn before the car came to a stop,' Hall wrote in an online discussion of the video of the incident.

'I would have smashed right into him had the car not hit the (brakes) for me,' Hall told GeekWire.

'It's easy to say that in hindsight, I should be going slower, but traffic tends not to pull out from you in that direction.'

Telsa's self-driving feature was installed via a wireless update two weeks ago and drivers must pay a one-time fee of $2,500 to use it.

All of the company's new Model X SUVs and the Model S sedans made since September 2014 come equipped with the camera, radar and ultrasonic sensors needed to make the autopilot feature work.

The autopilot feature uses sensors and cameras to detect how close the car is to other vehicles and can apply the brakes to keep a safe distance.

It can also change lanes and warn drivers about potential side impacts on the vehicle.

'I think this is going to be quite a profound experience for people,' Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in a media call earlier this month. 'In the long term, it will be safer than a person driving.'
