Tesla driver asleep at 100 km/h reveals failure in driver monitoring
A Tesla driver was filmed apparently asleep at the wheel traveling around 100 km/h on British Columbia's Trans-Canada Highway, with two sleeping children in the car. Tesla's driver monitoring system, which primarily uses an interior camera to track eye attention, failed to alert because the driver wore large sunglasses that blocked eye visibility. In this case, the system falls back to steering wheel torque detection, a less reliable method that does not confirm if the driver is awake or looking at the road. This limitation exposes a vulnerability in Tesla's supervision, especially important a
- Driver asleep at 100 km/h with two children in car in British Columbia
- Interior camera failed to detect attention due to large sunglasses
- System relies on steering wheel torque detection, less reliable method
🔎 Why it matters: FSD version 2025.32.3 and the interior camera-based monitoring show vulnerabilities by failing to detect attention when sunglasses are worn, allowing unsupervised driving.
📈 Upside: Not applicable.
📉 Risk: Torque-based monitoring may let drowsy or distracted drivers evade detection, increasing legal and safety risks.
