Is this something you just heard or do you have first hand knowledge? And if you have first hand knowledge, I'd like to know how that's possible as the Tesla, while in Autonomous mode, requires the person in the driver's seat to make contact with the steering wheel periodically, and in specific locations that would be difficult for someone other than the driver to do. To bypass one would have to overcome hard coding. I have verifiable evidence of this.
The accidents that have occurred (two, if I remember correctly) in Teslas that were in Autonomous mode happened while the driver was not paying adequate attention. They were not, however, asleep at the time to my knowledge.
