 Tesla driver charged over 'napping while speeding' - henry k
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54197344

Police said both front seats were fully reclined, and the driver and passenger were apparently asleep

He (police) said that when they put on their emergency lights the Tesla accelerated, with vehicles ahead of it moving out of the way.

The Tesla was obviously set on an illegally high cruise control setting and when other vehicles responded to the police lights and vocated its lane it gave it some welly.

Will Tesla respond with a interlock between seat back angle and road speed ?
