Tesla Driver Banned from Road After Switching to Autopilot and Moving to Passenger Seat

A man in England has been banned from driving after he switched his Tesla vehicle to autopilot and moved to the passenger seat. Bhavesh Patel was on the busy M1 highway in his Tesla S 60 when a passenger in a nearby vehicle was shocked to find there was no one in the driver’s seat of his car, according to a police report from the Hertfordshire Constabulary. Patel, 39, had shifted his Tesla to autopilot mode, leaving the steering wheel and foot controls unmanned before moving to the passenger seat . . .
