The jaw-dropping incident, caught on camera by a fellow motorist, has ignited fierce debate about road safety and the growing reliance on self-driving technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/duye.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-138-576x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duye.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-138-576x1024.png 576w, https:\/\/duye.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-138-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/duye.live\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/image-138.png 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The video shows the driver\u2019s head tilted back, eyes shut, seemingly unaware of the fast-moving traffic around him. Other vehicles can be seen passing by as concerned witnesses captured the dangerous moment. Many drivers who witnessed the scene immediately questioned how long the driver had been asleep\u2014and what could have happened if the car\u2019s system failed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities have yet to confirm whether an official investigation has been launched, but safety experts warn that sleeping behind the wheel, even in a Tesla with autopilot, is reckless and life-threatening. \u201cAutopilot is not a substitute for an alert driver,\u201d one highway safety spokesperson stressed. \u201cThese cars are meant to assist, not replace human responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media exploded after the footage surfaced, with many users expressing disbelief and anger. Hashtags like&nbsp;<strong>#TeslaSleepDriver<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>#WakeUpAtTheWheel<\/strong>&nbsp;began trending as people debated whether Tesla\u2019s technology encourages dangerous behavior. Some defended the brand, pointing out that driver instructions explicitly warn against such misuse, while others blamed the company for not implementing stricter safety lockouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time Tesla drivers have been caught snoozing at the wheel. Similar incidents across the U.S. and abroad have sparked controversy, with critics calling for stronger laws and harsher penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As technology continues to push the boundaries of autonomous driving, the question remains: how much responsibility should be placed on the driver\u2014and how much on the car? For now, one fact is clear: asleep or not, the risks of such behavior could be catastrophic for everyone on the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla Driver Caught Sleeping Behind the Wheel Sparks Outrage on I-90 Near Boston Commuters on Interstate 90 near Boston were left stunned when a&nbsp;Tesla driver was spotted fast asleep at &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5917,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5916"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5916\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5918,"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5916\/revisions\/5918"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/duye.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
