A drowsy driver in Germany had his license revoked after he fell asleep behind the wheel of his Tesla — which had been driving on autopilot and accidentally led police on a 15-minute pursuit.
Police on patrol in Bamberg attempted to pull over a Tesla driving on the A70 toward Beyreuth on Dec. 28, but the driver would not respond to stop signals or the repeated blaring of horns.
It became apparent that the driver had been utilizing the autopilot feature when police realized the car had kept the same speed throughout the pursuit.It also then became clear that the driver, a 45-year-old man, had his hands off the steering wheel and was reclining back in his seat with his eyes shut.
Officers also discovered the driver had placed a “so-called steering wheel weight in the footwell” of the car’s driver’s side.
