On September 2, a driver in the United States was caught by police after falling asleep in the driver's seat while trusting Tesla's autonomous driving feature on a highway.
At the time, the vehicle was traveling at a speed close to 100 km/h.
A patrolling police officer immediately pulled the vehicle over and issued a ticket for violating safe speed limits.
The California Highway Patrol pointed out through official social media (SNS), "FSD stands for Full Self-Driving, not Full Snooze Drive."
