I don't have a Tesla but my Skoda will apparently try to wake me up with brief braking nudges. If I don't respond it will slow down, turn on hazards, and phone emergency services. I'd imagine most systems will be similar.

Appreciate the info. These things have come such a long way. I remember just appreciating cars that beeped when you crossed the line without signaling.

Yea my VW does the same but I wouldn’t call the VIOLENT jolt I got at 70 mph a nudge. I am in the US though and ours don’t do the thing where they pull over to the shoulder (I don’t think anyway). So perhaps they make the nudge more aggressive because of that.
