Don't drink and drive—even if you have Autopilot.
A 50-year-old man was spotted driving close to the car ahead of him on the A27 road. "When we came alongside, the driver appeared to have fallen asleep," the police said.
After attempting to stop the vehicle, the driver was finally woken up with the help of a siren. Earlier this year, a Tesla driver was caught on camera seemingly asleep on Autopilot in Southern California and just a month before, a Tesla Model S driver was pulled over and arrested by the California Highway Patrol after the police officers saw him seemingly sleeping at the wheel.

A year locked into valet mode?
What’s the point of an autonomous vehicle that you can’t allow to be autonomous?
I thought this was the selling point of this “auto pilot” stuff.
Get in the car, press home, car drives you home from the bar.
Isn’t that the whole idea?
It would be the only reason I would ever buy one
No, that's the brilliant "driverless" car they're all working on.
My sister and family live in Europe for years, mostly Belgium and Germany.
She said only an idiot drink and drive over in Europe.
A neighbor of hers was washing his car in his driveway and enjoying a beer, cops came by and the keys were in the ignition. That was all it took.
Also, she said on some holiday evenings, many of the drivers are in fact drunk.

Two thumbs up !!!
Now he got the Tesla in trouble.

Where? I want to avoid the area..
DAVE: Take me to Barneys, Tesla.
Tesla: I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.
DAVE: What’s the problem?
Tesla: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
DAVE: What are you talking about, Tesla?
Tesla: I know that you’re on court supervision, this would be a violation...
Tesla Autopilot Feature will ‘Soon’ Drive You to Work Without Any Input
“If you have a Tesla built in past 2 years, definitely try Navigate on Autopilot. It will blow your mind. Automatically passes slow cars & takes highway interchanges & off-ramps,”
That’s right. Tesla will have a fleet of thousands by 2020.
I read it in the paper.
Well, what the heck is the purpose of autopilot if you can’t use to sleep/pass out while driving...or eat a burger...or have sex...
I mean, what good is it?
Hilarious video.
