Tesla driver passes out drunk on Autopilot — arrested for DUI
A Tesla driver was found passed out behind the wheel of his car as it drove itself through busy streets in Vacaville, California. Police caught up with the vehicle and arrested the driver on suspicion of driving under the influence of both alcohol and marijuana.
It is the latest in a long string of incidents where Tesla owners have treated the automaker’s driver-assist systems as if they were a designated driver — and it keeps happening because Tesla keeps marketing them that way.
