Taking this with a massive grain of salt given the absence of sources and the "unfiltered news followed by Elon Musk" Twitter account.

  I didn’t look at the account or provenance, but I’m more wondering about the actual content. “I was in Europe” -> where? Why would the car be configured in English? I’ve rented cars in Spain, Germany, Denmark and France, and they were all in the country’s language. “6 lane highway” -> again, where? Or is it meant 3 lanes per side? Because 6 lanes on each side are few and far between in Europe. My car will get pissy when it’s in semi-self-driving and it can’t detect my hands on the steering wheel. It will start beeping and stuff for a very long time before slowing down and eventually stopping. I’m also a bit surprised about the statement she couldn’t figure out what was wrong. Do people _not_ look at their dashboard when the car makes a noise to get their attention? It’s also odd that she didn’t mention the actual car brand and model. This is 100% something that needs to be investigated and checked, and name and shame is the correct approach. I doubt I see what this has to do with government tracking; it’s about making sure people don’t doze off. I don’t believe there’s any facial recognition involved.
