Tesla driver caught sleeping on Sydney motorway | 7NEWS
A Tesla driver was filmed apparently asleep behind the wheel while using the vehicle’s self-driving feature on Sydney’s M2 motorway. Australian laws require drivers to maintain control of the steering wheel at all times, with Tesla vehicles equipped with nine cameras and safety features that beep and slow the car to a stop if attention lapses for more than 30 seconds. The incident has sparked discussions about improving Australia’s autonomous vehicle policies and technologies, as the country currently only permits level two automation requiring constant driver attentiveness, unlike places such as America where driverless robo-taxis already operate.
