A Canadian man is facing charges for taking a nap behind the wheel of a self-driving Tesla – that speeding down the highway at over 90 miles per hour.
Police spotted the vehicle with “both front seats completely reclined and both occupants appearing to be asleep”. An officer flashed their emergency lights, only for the Tesla to “automatically accelerate” even faster.
The headline says it all:
"Canada Tesla driver charged over 'napping while speeding'."
Add to this, the front seats were reclined AND the car was doing 150km/h. #future #mobility #driving #behavior https://t.co/JIVEchuaPU

Have you ridden in a self-driving car? Do you trust them?
