Driver asleep while Tesla uses FSD on Canadian road
A viral video shows a Tesla driving at about 100 km/h on a two-lane road in Canada with the driver apparently asleep while using supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD). Although FSD is approved in some countries as an SAE Level 2 assistance system, it requires the driver to remain attentive and ready to intervene. It is unclear whether the driver monitoring system failed, was bypassed, or if the video captures only a brief moment. The incident highlights current limitations of assistance systems and the importance of distinguishing them from full autonomous driving.
- FSD is an SAE Level 2 assistance system, not full autonomous driving
- Video shows Tesla at 100 km/h with driver apparently asleep
- No confirmation if driver monitoring failed or was bypassed
🔎 Why it matters: The incident involves the supervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, current as of 2026, demonstrating its driver monitoring limitations.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: FSD may fail to detect sleeping drivers, posing safety risks.
