I don’t think that’s what has happening given how much it asks you to touch the wheel. Same thing could happen with cruise control and be even more dangerous.

- simion314 8y agoWhat do you mean? I imagine the driver was sleeping with the hands on the wheel. IMO this systems that work for 99% of cases but stil require 100% driver attention are dangerous and it should include as much software and hardware to make sure the human is paying attention and not sleeping or watching movies
- fossuser 8y agoIt doesn't really work for 99% of cases, it works for maybe 60% and most of that is uninterrupted freeway driving without construction zones. I think it'd be hard to sleep with your hands on the wheel and cause enough resistance to keep the car from complaining. Though I suppose it's possible - I thought the driver was drunk in that case (could be mistaken)?
- simion314 8y agoFrom what I read the drunk driver is a different guy then the sleeping driver, you can google for more info.
- gamblor956 8y agoThe officers had visuals on the car for at least 7 minutes. It's exactly what happened: the guy was asleep at the wheel of his Tesla.
- emn13 8y agoAlso, I'd assume that if police officers noticed one such case it's pretty plausible there have been and will be other, unreported cases where people got lucky.
