Cops chase Tesla driver 'dozing' with Autopilot on
A Tesla driver was fast asleep at the wheel with Autopilot engaged during a 15-minute pursuit by police, the cops claim.
Traffic officers said they spotted the vehicle as it traveled east on the autobahn from Bamberg to Bayreuth, Germany., the 45-year-old dozing driver failed to respond. Police drove with the car for about 15 minutes from the Viereth-Trunstadt junction to the Bamberg-Hafen junction at 110 kilometres per hour . Honking and signal lights failed to get the driver's attention, the cops said.
"Officers found that the Tesla driver was reclining in the seat with his eyes closed and his hands off the steering wheel," the police said in their press release, as translated by Google."This strengthened the suspicion that he had left the controls to the autopilot and had fallen asleep.
Police said they also found a steering wheel weight in the Tesla's footwell."This device is attached to the steering wheel to trick the vehicle's safety system by pretending that your hand is on the wheel," the translated police statement explains.
