New footage caught a Tesla driver apparently snoozing while traveling on a busy California freeway — the second catnap captured this week of a motorist behind the wheel of one of the self-driving vehicles.

The latest seemingly sleepy driver was seen Thursday, along northbound Interstate 5 near the Griffith Park section of Los Angeles, reported KTLA.

A woman driving a red Tesla sedan in the “fast lane” is seen slumped to the side behind the wheel, apparently mid-nap.

“She is dead asleep, bro! That is so funny,” fellow motorist Joshua Cadena, who recorded the clip, says to a friend.

How soon before a Tesla driver raises the defense: "I wasn't DUI. My car was my designated driver."

If a self-driving car causes a wreck, who gets the ticket?

AI is short for Artificial Intelligence. Some Tesla drivers are instead using AS (Artificial Stupidity).

If a self-driving car causes a wreck, who gets the ticket?

This is why fully autonomous has yet to appear.
It's a legal minefield that no company wants to enter yet.
The court case that would happen after a car is forced to decide if it kills the driver or other road users or pedestrians would be long and arduous.

It's automatically issued....

I think it is actually ASS - the Artificial Stupidity System.

The fatal flaw of this will always be there. Autonomous vehicles operate under the rules of the road and assume that people do too. That’s why we have plenty of examples of self-driving vehicles running over jaywalking pedestrians and bicyclists. When people are an obstacle that isn’t supposed to be there the vehicles just cream them.

The solution is so simple.

Autonomous vehicles should be equipped with a sensor (camera) which needs to see two pupils of driver's eyes. If the pupils are absent for more than 3 seconds, then a shrill alarm sounds, and the vehicle's emergency flashers flash - alerting other motorists of the hazard.

Also, a report is sent via wi-fi to the local police department, where a traffic citation is automatically issued to the driver.

Solved!

It was really slow stop-wait-and-go driving that made me sleepy.

But if the self driving technology reaches 99.95% reliability is a awake driver likely to catch a problem in time? Maybe we need a new term for it, AI hypnosis.
