I know technology is the way of the world now, but this is TOO MUCH! Luxury car producer Tesla is known for its self-driving car feature. This woman in California put it to the test after she was seen asleep at the wheel of her Tesla on a busy California highway.

She wasn't just asleep, she was apparently knocked out even while going 70 mph. Now, Tesla is recalling some 363,000 of it's  so-called “full self-driving” driver (FSD)assist software. And for obvious reasons. Tesla admits the car does have some safety risks. (Duh?) The government agrees. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it realizes Tesla’s FSD feature has   “led to an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety based on insufficient adherence to traffic safety laws.”

You don't say? (in my sarcastic voice)

Tesla says it'll attempt to fix the FSD feature through an over-the-air software update.
