Tesla Driver takes a nap using Auto Pilot while doing 140 km/hr

Too crazy not to share, from our friends north of the border.

I'm not sure I could let myself sleep behind the wheel (if I owned a TESLA), interested to hear people's thoughts who actually have them or have at least driven one enough to have an opinion.

Do you/would you take a five minute snooze on purpose if on the highway? How about reclining the seats and taking a full blown nap until you arrived at your destination!?

Wondering if these systems are considered safer on long straight highways (with high speed) or navigating through stop lights in a city (with slow speeds). Or is all that irrelevant?

Since it's considered a semi-autonomous vehicle, obviously any form of sleeping is not recommended. Interested to know where that line is since anytime you take your hands off the road, you are risking an accident... whether your reading the Wall Street Journal or have your eyes closed.
