Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Video taken from a passing car appears to show a Tesla driver and passenger sound asleep as their car cruises along the Massachusetts Turnpike at 55 mph. pic.twitter.com/ARSpj1rbVn — Dakota Randall September 8, 2019 A Tesla website advises drivers that “Autopilot is intended for use with a fully attentive driver, who has their hands on the wheel and is prepared to take over at any time.” Another warning notes that Autopilot features “require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous.” Still, a video featured on Tesla’s Autopilot website shows a car driving all over town with the driver’s hands off the steering wheel. A visual warning pops up on a Tesla’s dashboard if a driver’s hands are removed from the steering wheel — followed by beeping, reports NBC. Last week, a National Transportation Safety Board report determined that a Tesla driver crashed into a fire truck near Los Angeles last year because he was relying on the car’s Autopilot system and his hands were not on the steering wheel.
