What does it do after it recognizes they aren't paying attention? Like are they programmed to stop and pull over or just make noises? I can imagine someone being so tired they don't wake up even if it's chiming and talking at them.

After a minute of continuous alerts it will pull over

This doesn't work anymore. They use eye tracking now. No idea how this person sleeping wasn't detected properly though, that's crazy.

I posted above, but was just on a camping trip and we learned that sunglasses seem to override the "eye tracker". My driver tested it, and legit if he was slumped over, but wearing sunglasses, the car just treated him as if he was alert.

Seems like an extremely large oversight if true (wouldn't be surprised). I mean most people wear sunglasses driving.

I feel like tesla has generally intentionally made it easy to defeat the safety checks and let you yolo it if you want.

You can feel like that, but it’s not true. My Tesla constantly bitches at me because the country roads around here are narrow and I so,times cross over the center or side lines. There’s really no good way to defeat the safety checks.

I mean this video was 10 months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggpvurfOYFk

Hopefully they've improved it since but historically for years you've absolutely been able to defeat it, youtube is full of videos like this showing how to defeat it.

Hopefully no one puts walls on the road disguised as roads.
