No, I'm actually interested to know. Are most Tesla owners activate self driving during their daily commute? Tesla doesn't sell their vehicle here so the only times I actually see a Tesla are in car shows.

We've had news stories - and a friend's coworker too - of people sleeping on the highway portion of their commute. The friend's coworker did it daily for months, setting an alarm when it was probably going to be 'street' driving time so he'd wake up and be ready.

The friend’s coworker did it daily for months

That's both extremely stupid and irresponsible but also quite impressive on Tesla's part.

Being able to sleep (or not paying any attention to the road) is the entire reason I would get a self driving car (assuming it's safe to do so). But aren't you required to keep your hands on staying wheel when engaging full self driving? And I think the car has camera to monitor driver attentiveness too. Can you really fall asleep during commute like that?
