A B.C. Tesla driver has been ticketed for driving without due care and attention, following a video posted to social media appearing to show them asleep at the wheel with the car in autopilot mode.

The video was shot northbound on the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows bridge during rush hour.

“I looked out the passenger window and noticed what looked like somebody just completely asleep behind the wheel of the Tesla,” the man who shot the video and asked not to be identified told Global News.

“From what I saw they were out like a light, but then there was a couple moments where it looked like they almost woke up, then went back to sleep.”

In the video, the Tesla driver can be seen with their seat partially reclined, and appears to be dozing, then snap to attention before dozing off again.

Tesla’s autopilot system is meant to assist drivers, but not to render the vehicles autonomous, according to the company’s website.
