New cases of Tesla drivers falling asleep at the wheel have reignited the debate about the limits of Autopilot and the level of alertness drivers must maintain. Carscoops reports this.
More than once, high-profile accidents have demonstrated the consequences of a driver sleeping while driving a Tesla or other modern car equipped with assistive systems. However, as observations show, this does not reduce the confidence of many owners in assistance technologies. With each new generation of systems, the border between a simple assistant and truly autonomous control in the minds of consumers becomes increasingly elusive. It is this blurred perception that creates dangerous complacency.
Internet users have recorded the third case in the last two weeks: Tesla drivers falling asleep while driving on the highways. One of the videos posted on Reddit shows a woman in a Model X sleeping as the car continues to drive down the highway.
It remains unclear whether that Model X had an FSD system or a conventional autopilot. Modern versions of FSD are precisely designed to prevent such situations: they monitor the driver’s attentiveness and, if there is no reaction, can stop the car.
Previously, Tesla’s autopilot tried to throw a car with a person off a bridge.
