Ontario Provincial Police charge a Tesla driver with careless driving after the driver is allegedly found asleep behind the wheel during rush-hour traffic on Ottawa’s Highway 417. Police release a photo showing a newer-generation Model Y in traffic, and the case is linked to an incident that occurs during the Tuesday commute.
Both outlets report that the charge is a result of the alleged sleepiness while driving. Electrek adds that the penalty on conviction includes a specified fine and demerit points and notes the pattern of multiple similar public cases earlier this year. Electrek also frames the timing alongside improvements to Tesla’s “Full Self-Driving,” while Global News limits its summary to the basic account of the charge and the location and conditions of the incident.
