The Tesla Model 3, with no driver paying attention to driving, was spotted by a couple on their way back from Las Vegas. The way the driver was slouched down had them concerned there was a medical emergency, or they had inadvertently dozed off. They followed the car, beeping their horn to try and get the non-driver’s attention for around fifteen minutes, but to no avail. Finally, they called 911 to report the situation.
“It is illegal, and motorists have to realize that they have to be awake, conscious, and sober so they can take control of the vehicle,” explained Officer Mike Lassig of CHP Temecula. However, law enforcement failed to catch up with the non-driver.
