that driver looking asleep behind the wheel, going about 70 miles an hour on highway 101 south, near whipple. officers tried to stop the driver, but he didn't pull over, so officers eventually had to pull a chp cruiser in front of the tesla, to slow the tesla down to a stop. that driver, 45-year-old man from los altos failed a field sobriety test and was arrested on dui charges. the big question now is, whether that driver was using tesla's autopilot mode. if he was, it would be the first time a drunk driver tried to use autopilot as a designated driver. rather it would not be the first time. in august, a monterey man was arrested after crashing his tesla into a san jose fire truck. he told officers that he thought he had autopilot on. back in january, chp officers found a man passed out behind the wheel of his tesla on the bay bridge, when he was arrested for dui, he told officers he thought his car was in autopilot. his blood alcohol consent level was more th -- content level was more than twice the legal limit. we don't know whether he was in autopilot at that time but last month tesla pu
