Not only was the driver sleeping, the car was exceeding the speed limit by 40 km/h (25 mph).

And it _sped up_ when the police turned on their emergency lights, allegedly.

Because the cars in front of it got out of the way for the police vehicle, the Tesla could accelerate to it's preset cruise speed.

Better napping than dead?
