SANTA CLARITA, CA. (THECOUNT) — A crazy video released on social media Friday apparently shows a Tesla driver traveling on a busy Los Angeles County interstate while asleep at the wheel.
A couple in a vehicle driving along side the sleeping man got video of the Tesla on I-5 near Santa Clarita last Saturday.
“He was completely out – sound asleep,” said Clint Olivier, the driver who saw the Tesla. “My wife was on her phone on Instagram or something and I said get off your phone and record this!”
Olivier said he did not contact police because the driver woke up and regained control of the car.
Olivier said the Tesla was not moving erratically and was traveling 70-75 mph.
It is believed the man was operating the pricey electric vehicle in “Autopilot Mode.”
