Tesla safety driver falls asleep during passenger’s robotaxi ride

A Reddit user posted video of his safety driver sleeping at the wheel in San Fransisco.

As Tesla’s profits shrink and its model lineup continues to age, the company remains focused on establishing new lines of business. Tesla CEO Elon Musk says there’s not much his Optimus robots won’t be able to do in the future—following people around to prevent them from committing crimes is the latest—despite the technology not quite existing yet.
