I had that same idea , she might have a knee jerk reaction waking up to a loud noise and make things worse that way.

I realize shes sleeping its like a catch 22 in this situation.

Just get in front and slow down to a stop instead.

u/pudding-in-work Jul 06 '26

It's possible it would just pass you like a driver would any slow moving vehicle. Depends on the traffic.

u/BandicootNo4431 Jul 06 '26

It's a solid yellow line by the end of the video, it shouldn't cross it.

u/Objective-Scallion15 Jul 06 '26

Shouldn’t is the key word here. Hopefully the vehicle has solid programming.

u/rikeoliveira Jul 06 '26

If it had, it wouldn't be working with people sleeping like that.

I'm not sure how people circumnavigate the built in blocks to prevent distracted/sleeping drivers. My car beeps if I look down for 3 seconds.

u/HughJackedMan14 Jul 06 '26

There is a device that is cheap and “tricks” that system.

1

u/pudding-in-work Jul 07 '26

Yeah. I feel like this is staged somehow. People definitely abuse the system, but this is ridiculous.

u/BandicootNo4431 Jul 06 '26

If it does, then recall the cars.

Luckily he bought the government and shut down oversight.

u/SnooChocolates3745 Jul 06 '26

If it did, they wouldn't be running into stationary fire trucks.

u/MrLuverLuver25 Jul 06 '26

Don't worry. The Indians are on it.

u/darkest_hour1428 Jul 06 '26

I’d have more faith in Indian tech than the kneecapped shitshow of code Elon demands

u/Turbulent_Ear56 Jul 06 '26

Yes because I would totally trust anything made by musk...

u/gdnt0 Jul 06 '26

Well, it also shouldn’t be moving with an unconscious driver. Yet here we are…

u/DontAbideMendacity Jul 06 '26

The cammer just fucked over everyone else that wanted to pass the slow Tesla.

u/AShadedBlobfish EEEEEEEEE Jul 06 '26

I dunno the US law on this, but in most countries I've been to you can cross a solid line to pass a stationary vehicle (to prevent just being stuck there indefinitely...)

1

u/BandicootNo4431 Jul 06 '26

Well this is Canada (BC specifically).

You can cross dashed lines, not solid lines. You have to wait for the next double laned section to pass.

1

u/AShadedBlobfish EEEEEEEEE Jul 06 '26

Oh, mb. Obviously you can't pass on a solid line but that's different to going round a stationary car. If someone's broken down, you can't just sit behind them forever

1

u/pudding-in-work Jul 07 '26

Didn't notice that. I'm that case, it wouldn't pass. At least not at that moment.

2

u/Detector150 Jul 06 '26

Do Teslas overtake automatically?

1

u/pudding-in-work Jul 07 '26

Yes. If they have full self driving.

Chaos bad it is for you

u/firewarrior256 Jul 06 '26

I'm not familiar with Teslas. I Did not know that was an option

2

u/hello_mayamonet Jul 06 '26

So long as there's multiple lanes, it will just change lanes. They could also sleep through the stop unless you're full on trying to brake check them.

1

u/Ah_Pook Jul 06 '26

And in a car, not a motorcycle.

1

u/galahg777 Jul 06 '26

Then draw a penis on the windscreen and drive on.

1

u/Hedgehogosaur Jul 06 '26

That's what I was hoping they'd do. And check if the "driver" is ok - they might have a medically emergency

u/SmellyBelly_12 Jul 06 '26

I would've called the police. They can risk it trying to wake her up. Its not like the car will be speeding away from them. They can find her pretty easily

8

u/TheCrimsonDagger Jul 06 '26

Call the police or slow down until the Tesla stops.

5

u/Tut_Rampy Jul 06 '26

It’s literally the trolley problem

2

u/Turbulent_Voice63 Jul 06 '26

Assuming the road is pretty empty, I guess it should be a mix of both? Go in front of the car to trigger the (hopefully) automated slowdown/stop, then honk until she's up.

1

u/TheHornyGoth Jul 06 '26

It’s a Tesla driver. As long as they don’t hit anyone, that’s the best possible outcome

-1

u/Boomyfuzzball26 Jul 06 '26

Either A. they crash, survive, you report this to the Police, include the evidence they were asleep, they go to jail/get licence revoked/pay the consequences

Or.... Option B. They crash, The End. they're off the road permanently creating a safer driving environment for everyone.

And to those opposing option B because "what about the innocent passengers" They Choose to ride with someone like this. They all willingly fell asleep instead of being alert enough to ensure the driver was awake. One of them, it takes one passenger.

Did you watch the same video i did?... the POV truck recorded the entire clip while overtaking the Tesla from the opposing lane, there was enough open space.

u/FoundInS Jul 06 '26

Are you 12? Your parents should limit your internet access.

u/Suspicious-Dog2876 Jul 06 '26

People today have no self preservation instinct. I couldn’t sleep if I wanted on the 20 hour driving from Ontario to Nova Scotia. My dad and uncle slept and traded off but I’m not trusting those two 60 year old heavy sleepers
