Dutch police stop Tesla driver sleeping while using autopilot

Police in the Netherlands stopped a man who had fallen asleep while driving using the car’s autopilot system, they said on Instagram.

Police said they had to wake him by blasting their sirens, because he did not respond to other signals from officers to slow down.

He appeared to be under the influence of alcohol, police said.

The incident comes two months after a Tesla driver in Florida had a fatal crash while using the autopilot function.
