dipsylalapo Supervisor Posted September 11, 2019 Supervisor Share Posted September 11, 2019 I thought these things were prevented with the detection of hands on the wheel with the car eventually stopping if no action was taken? If the guy did fall asleep unintentionally, you could argue that if it wasn't a Tesla, then it could have been much worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Som Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Person could be dead... also isn't that the point of having an autonomous car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted September 11, 2019 Global Moderator Share Posted September 11, 2019 Oh well. Only reason this is "news" is because it is a Tesla. Just about any other car would have crashed long before it could be videoed. At least he wasn't in one of the 72,000 crashes a year attributed to drowsy driving. +1 for Tesla saving an irresponsible drivers life.
