Tesla driver arrested for DUI while on autopilot

That was when Samek woke up. He then left the highway and pulled in everywhere, a Shell gas station, where he was arrested. It was then that the officers suspected that Samek had put the car on Autopilot, but this will not be confirmed until the survey is completed. It's actually not hard to figure out because all Teslas contains a black box of stored data. A call to Tesla requesting the specific database due to an alleged DUI should give a final response. Tesla has not yet responded to the comment of local media.

California Highway Patrol made it clear that Autopilot is a functional driver, should only be used when fully awake, sober and both hands on the steering wheel. It is not full autonomy.
