Man Caught Sleeping on Autopilot Gets Criminally Charged -

This week, in Alberta, Canada a man was caught sleeping with his seat fully reclined while his Tesla Model S was on autopilot at high speeds. This tweet by the Alberta Police shows the image of the driver with their seat fully reclined driving by.
