Updated 5/18/2021 11:34 AM A Palatine man was cited in Wisconsin after he appeared to be asleep at the wheel of a 2019 Tesla running on autopilot for several miles along an interstate, authorities said Tuesday. A Kenosha County Sheriff's deputy was dispatched at 7:51 a.m. Sunday to I-94 northbound after someone made the report, just after the Tesla crossed from Illinois into Wisconsin, Sgt. David Wright said.
The deputy located the Tesla near exit 340 at State Trunk Highway 158, pulled up next to the vehicle and saw the driver apparently asleep, with his head down and not looking at the road, sheriff's police said.
