When it comes to irresponsible use of systems like Autopilot, FSD Beta, Super Cruise, or Blue Cruise, there tends to be a lot of controversy. This is particularly true when a Tesla is involved, because

people who are emotionally and/or financially invested in Tesla tend to defend the company to irrational lengths.

By 2022, most manufacturers added some form of driver monitoring to vehicles that are supposed to catch sleepy drivers and either get them to wake up or disable the ADAS system so they’ll be forced to either drive manually or take a break. But, Before anybody says it, yes, the cops don’t know much about Autopilot , but that doesn’t really negate any of the above. He was pretty clearly sleeping and has priors for it. Defending him is just goofy.

The driver was never found and investigated, because the witnesses only got a partial plate. So, the driver was never identified. But, for entertainment, the news station did the “man on the street” thing, but at a Supercharger station to give Tesla drivers a chance to bag on him. Most of them did exactly that, like any responsible Tesla owner should. The guy was sleeping, and the video was very likely real.
