Tesla driver seen on video napping behind the wheel

The woman in the Tesla wakes up at the very end of the most recent video taken by Joshua Cardena, after several seconds of the man saying ‘she is dead asleep.’

Tesla’s autopilot system is able to assist drivers, but it does not make the vehicle totally autonomous, the company’s website states. Users are required to keep their hands on the wheel to maintain control.

This video was captured on the Interstate 5 Thursday near Griffith Park in Los Angeles

Thursday’s video comes a week after another woman was seen sleeping behind the wheel of her Tesla in Southern California  

The latest incident happened on the northbound Interstate-5 near Griffith Park. 

Joshua Cadena who filmed the video can be heard laughing as he tells his friend about the woman who is asleep at the wheel. 

‘She is dead asleep, bro! That is so funny,’ Cadena says to his friend. 

The red Tesla passes the car Cadena and his friend are in before slowing down randomly in the fast lane. 

Cadena and his friend then speed up to get a better angle of the woman inside the Tesla. 

The woman’s head appears cocked to the side and laying against the window. 

Cadena films for several seconds while the unidentified woman lies still until she eventually comes to.

‘Well, she’s up now,’ Cadena’s friend says as he laughs.

Shockingly, this is the second incident of its kind in Southern California in a week. 

Last Thursday, another person on the road recorded a video of a napping Tesla driver. 

That video took place on the 15 Freeway near Temecula. 

Kiki Dolas who recorded the video told officials she had been following the car for 15 minutes and honking before she eventually called 911. 

The California Highway Patrol was dispatched to investigate. 

The driver in that event was not found. 

A voice in the video is heard saying: ‘Look at how dangerous that is. You guys I’m sorry that is too damn dangerous.

‘Sleeping and this car is driving you. Are you nuts?’

Tesla’s ‘self-driving’ feature has been slammed in the past few years over safety concerns with some lawyers who own Teslas saying it makes them ‘nervous.’ 

Last year, Tesla founder Elon Musk doubled down on the ‘self driving’ feature and said he and others in the company are focused on making a fully self-driving car. 

‘But the overwhelming focus is on solving full self-driving,’ Musk said in an

In December, Tesla gave their new Enhanced Autopilot safety assist feature to owners to trial for 30 days for free. 

Last year, Tesla founder Elon Musk doubled down on the ‘self driving’ feature and said he and others in the company are focused on making a fully self-driving car 

The cost otherwise is more than $5000.

The feature was made available for the Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X owners.

Enhanced Autopilot provides automatic lane changing assist, automatic parking and the ability to summon the car to your location.

California Highway Patrol officials state drivers need to be ‘awake, conscious, and sober’ to legally operate a moving vehicle.

Student turns sleuth to track down her stolen Ford Fiesta

A student took matters into her own hands when her Ford Fiesta was stolen from outside her home – by using an Apple AirTag to track it down herself and documenting the journey on . 

Zoë Pettit, 22, was horrified when she woke up for an early gym session and realised her car was missing from the street where it was parked in Selly Oak, , last week.

Helpfully she had tucked an Apple AirTag, a tracking device that can be traced via phone, into the lining of her boot after fellow students advised her about a spate of car thefts in the area.

So when the business student discovered her car had been stolen, she and two university friends set on a mission to find it – and were successful within a matter of hours despite police reportedly failing to have any luck. 

 Zoë Originally from Norwich, Norfolk, EvDeN eVe naKLiyat explained: ‘Every morning I just double check it’s there because you see quite a few posts from people saying their car was stolen overnight.

‘I looked up the road and I thought I was going crazy because I couldn’t see it.’

Her car was missing from the street where it was parked in Selly Oak, Birmingham, last week

Panicking, University of Birmingham student Zoë searched the surrounding streets, questioning if she had perhaps parked it somewhere different and it had slipped her mind.

But she couldn’t see it anywhere.

‘I went onto my phone and checked the AirTag – and I see that it’s seven miles away from where I am,’ she said.

Zoë continued: ‘I ran back to my house and I was like ‘girls, my car has been stolen’.I was quite frantic.

‘We rang the police, and in all fairness to them they were very helpful.

‘They assigned someone straight away and there was an officer driving to where the AirTag was.’

As the tag showed the car was moving, a cop reportedly tried to track it down for a few hours but couldn’t see it.

In the end police gave up the search, she says, leaving Zoë with no choice but to accept defeat and report it as stolen to her insurance provider.

Zoë decided to take matters into her own hands – against the advice of her parents

She used her Apple AirTag, a tracking device that can be traced via phone, to pin down the car’s whereabouts

She said: ‘The police were really helpful and did as much as they could.It was about midday at this point, and I found out at nine o’clock my car had been stolen.

‘My dad was getting ready to call up my insurance company and tell them it was stolen at this point basically.

‘A couple of my housemates came home from their morning lectures, and one of the girls said that she had got her car with her – so why didn’t we just go and try to find it?’

She added: ‘My parents were like ‘do not drive to the AirTag, whatever you do.In case you have any concerns about where along with how you can work with EVDeN Eve nAKliYAT, you are able to e mail us with our own webpage. Just leave it’.’

However, the girls went anyway, driving half an hour to Saltley, an inner-city area to the east of Birmingham.

She said: ‘At first we couldn’t find it, we drove around for about 20 minutes and I was just thinking this is bizarre.

‘In the end I just thought it’s not there, Evden EvE NAKLiYaT maybe they chucked the AirTag out of the car, let’s go.’

But a chance left turning as they were leaving the estate led the girls right to the missing white Ford – although its plates had been changed.

‘I pressed my car key and it unlocked, I freaked out.I was like ‘Oh my God it’s my car!’

The student could not believe it when she spotted her car – though the registration plate had been changed

The friends celebrated with a McDonald’s on the way back home 

Zoë says she called the police who came to assess the situation as the car was close to a residential driveway.

Detectives reportedly said it was safe and the girls were allowed to take the car back – celebrating with a McDonald’s on the way home.

Zoë said her beloved first car ‘sustained a few injuries’, as thieves had cut her steering wheel to remove the steering lock – and stunk it out by smoking drugs inside.

But she added that she was ‘chuffed’ to have her car back – although she does feel ‘uncomfortable’ knowing that a stranger was driving it around.

Zoë said West Midlands Police are currently investigating the crime.

A spokesman for the force told MailOnline: ‘We were called on 31 January after a white Ford Fiesta was stolen in Birmingham. Fortunately, the car’s owner had a tracker inside the vehicle and eVdEn EVE NakliyAt was able to track down its location. 

‘The car had appeared to be in a location in Birmingham, but when officers attended, it was no longer there. 

‘Subsequently a different location was identified by the owner, who went there herself and took back her car. 

‘Officers supported her in recovering the vehicle and are continuing to investigate the theft and identify suspects.Anyone with information can call 101 or use Live Chat on our website quoting crime number 20/13098/23.’
