Tesla driver filmed asleep as he was driving along the motorway

A motorist has been filmed fast asleep at the wheel of his “self-drive” Tesla on a busy highway Interstate 5 near San Diego in California. The car driver who was with his wife and children said “we were going about 35 or 40 miles per hour when we saw him. The traffic had just started slowing down, there were cars pulling around him and changing lanes. But his car stayed in the same lane while we were next to him. He was totally out none of us could believe it. My wife was screaming call 911 she was really worried”.

Tesla autopilot function is capable of keeping a car in a lane and overtaking.  However, users  are advised to monitor the system and keep their hands on the wheels at all times.
