特斯拉司机驾驶中睡着，车子照常行驶吓坏警察

A Tesla driver got a suspended license after he drunkenly fell asleep on Autopilot on the highway in the Netherlands. The police managed to safely wake him up while Autopilot was driving the vehicle unsupervised.

一名特斯拉车主被吊销了驾照，他醉酒在荷兰公路上开启自动驾驶模式睡着了。当时自动驾驶模式还在无人监督情况下继续驾驶车辆，警察安全地将司机叫醒。

The police in Eemnes, a municipality and a city in the Netherlands, saw that a Tesla vehicle was strangely driving behind a slower truck even though there was no other traffic on the highway.

荷兰自治市Eemnes的警察看到一辆特斯拉很奇怪地跟在一辆很慢的卡车后面，当时路上也没有其他车辆。

They decided to approach the vehicle and saw that the driver was asleep.

他们决定靠近那辆车，然后看到司机睡着了。

After attempting to stop the vehicle, the driver was finally woken up with the help of a siren.

试图拦截该车后，司机最终被警笛声吵醒。

Tesla says that drivers are required to monitor the system when on Autopilot, but it doesn’t have a way to ensure that they do beyond requiring them to “apply light torque to the steering wheel” sporadically.

特斯拉公司说开启自动驾驶模式时要求司机监控系统，但也没有办法确保他们会监控，只能要求他们偶尔“微调方向盘”。

In this case, the police said that the driver fell asleep with his hands on the wheel, which might have applied enough torque to stop Autopilot from bringing the vehicle to a stop due to an unresponsive driver.

在这起案件中，警察说司机睡着的时候手放在方向盘上，可能也在轻微地动，所以自动驾驶模式才没有因为司机没有反应而把车停下。

It’s not the first time a Tesla driver was caught sleeping on Autopilot.

这不是第一次发现有特斯拉车主开启自动驾驶模式睡着了。

Earlier this year, a Tesla driver was caught on camera seemingly asleep on Autopilot in Southern California and just a month before, a Tesla Model S driver was pulled over and arrested by the California Highway Patrol after the police officers saw him seemingly sleeping at the wheel. It reportedly took 7 miles to stop the vehicle.

今年早些时候一位特斯拉车主在南加州被监控拍到好像开启自动驾驶模式睡着了，而在那之前仅仅一个月，加州公路巡逻警察看到一位特斯拉Model S车主好像在开车时睡着了，将其逼停并拘留，据报道警察跑了7英里才把车拦下。
