A terrifying moment on a major highway was caught on camera when a Tesla driver was filmed fast asleep behind the wheel, cruising at high speed during rush hour.

According to witnesses, other drivers noticed the vehicle swerving slightly between lanes before one motorist pulled out their phone and began recording. The footage shows the driver’s head drooping, arms limp, and hands completely off the steering wheel, while cars whizzed dangerously close on either side.

Authorities were alerted immediately. Police intercepted the Tesla a few miles down the highway, pulling it safely to the side and awakening the driver. Thankfully, no collisions occurred, but the incident has sparked widespread concern about the limits of self-driving technology and the dangers of relying too heavily on autonomous features.

The video has since gone viral online, with viewers expressing shock, disbelief, and horror at how quickly a routine commute could have turned deadly. Many commenters are debating driver responsibility, autopilot safety, and the need for stricter regulations on partially automated vehicles.
