B.C. Tesla Driver Ticketed After Appearing Asleep Behind the Wheel in Rush Hour Traffic
A Tesla driver in British Columbia was ticketed after police observed her appearing to be asleep at the wheel of her Model Y on a highway during rush hour. This incident highlights the misuse of Tesla's driver-assistance features, specifically Autopilot or Full Self-Driving, which are not designed to allow the driver to disengage. It serves as a critical reminder to owners that they must remain attentive and in control of the vehicle at all times, even when these systems are active.
