Tesla Driver Asleep on Highway | Vancouver News

A Tesla driver allegedly fell asleep at the wheel on a busy stretch of Highway One in British Columbia, with two kids in the car — captured on video by a horrified passenger who called 911. Police are treating the incident seriously, reiterating that even with advanced driver-assist features, drivers must remain awake, hands on the wheel, and fully in control. These systems are classified as level two — meaning they’re not self-driving, and drivers can’t rely on them to operate the vehicle while asleep or distracted. Authorities warn that the technology can fail unexpectedly, and the law is clear: drivers are ultimately responsible for their actions behind the wheel — no matter how smart the car may seem.
