Honestly speaking, I think this is more in between fatigue and distracted driving. Not a DUI.

How is this not worse than distracted driving? He's purposely taking all attention off the road. It's also not fatigue. This wasn't someone driving after a long shift. He purposely put his seat back and lost consciousness while in control of a motor vehicle. On top of that he was speeding.
It's much closer to criminal negligence (and probably is) than distracted driving.

Guy wasn't very smart. If you want to get a good rest you are better to set it at the speed limit and get a longer sleep. Amateur.

I'm betting Tesla will figure out a way to reduce or prevent people from doing this.

If they can, I'm not sure what they are waiting for. It's been happening since at least 2016.

You can't stop full stupid.
Also, the wheel needs to feel some force when in AP about every minute or so. To do what this moron driver did, you'd have to circumvent that.

Splitting hairs, but as I hinted in my previous posts, I have no issue throwing reckless driving and/or stunting as part of the speeding ticket. I just vehemently disagree on DUI.

Why do they issue DUI over something like reckless driving?

In 10 years, this could be commonplace and legal minus the ridiculous speed.

What he did should be criminal.
I equate it to a DUI because he impaired himself beyond the condition requires to safely operate a vehicle. Excessive fatigue should also have the same consequences. As should cell phone use. When you intentionally impair your ability to drive to a similar extent as .08 then the consequence of that action should be the same. It this case, presuming the story is true, this guy was as impaired as someone who was passed out.

Speeding yes.
Dangerous driving is going to be an interesting case for the prosecutor. One could easily argue that this car was being driven the safest out of any car on the road that day.
That being said, the driver was clearly not driving the car in a manner that is legal here, nor in a manner that is recommended by the manufacturer.
At some point in the coming years, laws will have to be changed to better cover things like this. But it’s not likely now.
