You can't engage Autopilot then snooze off the car will bing and bong until you at least interact with the wheel.

From the CBC article:
Quote:
Both front seats were fully reclined and both occupants appeared to be sound asleep.
Appeared? Doesn't mean they were.
Quote:
The car appeared to be driving in autopilot at more than 140 km/h, RCMP Sgt. Darrin Turnbull told CBC News on Thursday.
I'd say what really happened is the people reclined the seats and engaged Autopilot, but still were interacting with the steering wheel.
Quote:
"Nobody was looking out the windshield to see where the car was going," Turnbull said.
Which makes the driver a jackass.
Quote:
"But of course, there are aftermarket things that can be done to a vehicle against the manufacturer's recommendations to change or circumvent the safety system."
AFAIK Autopilot has never been hacked, or any part of the system. People have tried but failed.
Quote:
After the responding officer activated emergency lights on their vehicle, the Tesla automatically began to accelerate.
No it did not.
