Read here: CHP Investigates if Tesla Was on Autopilot After DUI Arrest
At least when he fell asleep at the wheel, there was no accident this time. Driving under the influence with autopilot on doesn’t mean it’ll prevent all accidents, but it’ll prevent some. Either way it’s unsafe to be on the road at all. I just hope people don’t look at autopilot as a solution for driving under the influence... And I’m glad the CHP is enforcing this.
Maybe one day your Tesla will be able to get you home safely, but today is not that day. Don’t risk others’ lives and your own future for the sake of your loved ones. If you need to, take a nap in the passenger’s seat overnight, stay where you are overnight, call a friend, or take an uber home. But don’t get behind the wheel; it’s unsafe for everyone.
