NBC News reported that a growing number of Tesla owners are openly napping while the car's Full Self-Driving software handles the driving, documenting at least 43 online videos of people who appear to be asleep at the wheel. Tesla's system still requires an attentive driver ready to take over. The account is based on owner interviews and posted videos rather than crash or regulatory data.
