A Tesla driver in British Columbia was filmed apparently asleep while traveling about 100 km/h, with two sleeping children in the vehicle. Reports indicate large sunglasses may have prevented the cabin camera from tracking eye attention, causing the system to rely on steering-wheel torque detection instead. FSD is a Level 2 driver-assistance system that requires continuous driver supervision.
