Monitors within the vehicle ultimately shut down the car stopped in the middle of an Interstate.
Sounds dangerous.

What does in the middle of the interstate mean? On the road surface? Median strip or shoulder or off the road? Hopefully it was one of the safer options. Stopped on the road would be just waiting for a certain type of truck driver to plow into you.

At least she was aware enough to program the car to drive home, but why did it stop in the road? Run out of juice?
To: simpson96
Well, she is one of the few who can rightly use the SOV-CIT argument that she was TRAVELING and not DRIVING.

They’re actually monitors within the vehicle that make sure that you’re looking forward and will initially warn you, and then ultimately shut down the car and shut down the system if you’re not paying attention
Who was the MENSA member who came up with that idea?

Twice the speed limit, but not.

If FSD detects a problem it will move to the shoulder of the road and stop.
She probably started out in FSD then accidentally hit something to switch back to manual. Then brilliantly stopped on interstate.

Authorities can charge the driver and the TESLA .
Precedent can be Lee Marvin drunk on his drunk horse in Cat Ballou.

Just remembered there is an essay by Ray Bradbury: “Drunk and In Charge of a Bicycle”, inspired by a true story of a police report of someone in Ireland.
Those vehicles are dangerous, too.

From the article:
...part of Tesla’s Autopilot safety features includes eye detection, which makes sure the driver is alert.

She reminds me of a witchy neighbor I used to have. That woman seriously gave me the eebie- jeebies whenever I was around her. Literally the hairs on the back of my next would raise. On my arms, too.

The headline should have started with “Florida Woman”. Florida Man and Florida Woman are a media institution by this point. :P
