“Teslas equipped with Autopilot cannot drive themselves.”
...sounds like this one could.

Well, he technically wasn’t driving if he was asleep.

Interesting, this should be followed up on the trial outcome to see if Tesla jumps in on this . Because when arrested and if he was not in the drivers seat that prosecution cannot claim he was operating that vehicle.

There will be a lot of this when the government finally forces us all to drive “self-driving” cars, and I’ll be laughing.

“...drove the intoxicated man’s Tesla off the freeway and parked it at a nearby gas station.”
Awfully nice of them.
They usually impound a vehicle as a result of a DUI...

Should Telsa be arrested for Drunk Driving? The person was not driving. He might get off, because there is no law for self driving cars...

Harry Harrison predicted these cars in Homeworld (To the Stars, Vol. 1) in 1980. Readers are amused when Jan Kulozik is driving on auto-pilot and drinking too much. The car won’t let him take back control because of it’s auto-breathalyzer, then takes him on the scenic route home. Angry Jan is finally allowed control in his garage and crunches his bumper on the back wall to show the car who’s boss.

Sorry for being a stick in the mud, but I remain convinced there will never be a 100% self driving car. Too many variables and combinations of those variables.
