Police charge another Tesla driver caught asleep in rush hour as cases pile up
A Tesla driver caught asleep behind the wheel on Ottawa’s Highway 417 during Tuesday’s rush hour now faces a careless driving charge from the Ontario Provincial Police. The photo OPP shared shows a new-generation Model Y in traffic.
The charge carries a $490 fine and six demerit points on conviction. It’s at least the fifth time this year Canadian police have gone public with a sleeping Tesla driver, and it’s not a coincidence that it’s happening as “Full Self-Driving” gets better.
