Tesla Caught Going 97 km/h With Driver Slumped Over and Asleep

Many people drive using driving assistance features these days. Is it true that someone relied on this too much and got caught by the police?

Yes, this didn't happen in South Korea; it took place on a highway in California, USA.

At the time, the vehicle was traveling at about 97 km/h with Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) feature turned on.

However, a police officer on a motorcycle noticed the driver wearing sunglasses, slumped over, and fast asleep, and quickly pulled the vehicle over.

Police issued the driver a traffic citation for speeding and other violations.

Local police released footage of the incident and urged caution, stating, "The only safe speed when a driver falls asleep is zero miles per hour."

They particularly emphasized that autonomous driving features are merely "assistance systems" to help with driving, not "fully autonomous driving" that can replace a human.
