Tesla driver sleeping while the car is in self-driving mode
The video was shared by Twitter users “6ixBuzzTV” at @6ixbuzztv

There have been countless reports of Tesla drivers acting irresponsibly when the car was in self-driving mode. Also, there have been multiple reports of electric vehicle drivers sleeping behind the car. A video of a Tesla driver napping off in the driver’s seat while the car was in autopilot mode and driving on the highway gets caught.

The car’s system is likely to be working perfectly in the video. It does not, however, think about the fact that the driver was in a risky circumstance and dependent on the vehicle.

The driver in the video looks to be sleeping as the car continues to move forward. In the video, the driver can be seen reclining in his seat and closing his eyes as the camera zooms in. However, many others stepped forward to assess the issue after the video became viral on social media. The Tesla car shouldn’t allow this to happen, a social media user said, adding the video is probably fake.

He said that drivers can not do this with Tesla vehicles. He cited the camera in the car’s cabin, which continuously checks the driver’s eye and asks for steering wheel pressure every few seconds, as evidence for his allegation. Additionally, if the standards are not met, the car begins to beep until they are.

It should be mentioned that Tesla’s Autopilot is merely a set of safety features that enable the car to keep a constant speed while staying in its lane. The system makes use of adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, which is a common feature on many modern cars.

It also has several lane-keeping technologies, automated emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and other safety measures. All of these features are meant to “help” drivers and decrease the risk of a serious collision.
