Woman Arrested for DUI Found Asleep in Tesla on Autopilot
A woman, driving at more than twice the legal limit for intoxication, mistakenly believed her Tesla’s autopilot system would ensure her safe journey home. However, the vehicle’s internal monitoring system eventually halted the car in the middle lane of the interstate when she failed to respond to alerts. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the critical need for driver attentiveness and responsible planning, emphasizing that advanced driver-assistance systems are not a substitute for sober operation.
