Tesla driver caught asleep at 100 km/h — how monitoring failed

A Tesla driver was filmed apparently fast asleep behind the wheel at about 100 km/h on British Columbia’s Trans-Canada Highway on Sunday, with two sleeping children in the car.

The obvious question is how Tesla’s driver monitoring — the very system meant to catch this — let it happen. The answer is that the driver was wearing large sunglasses, and that one detail exposes a real gap in how Tesla watches its drivers.
