New photo Tesla driver was 'drunk and fell asleep behind the wheel as car was on autopilot mode'

Alexander Samek, 45, was arrested in Palo Alto early Friday morning at 3.37am in his grey Model S Tesla and was identified by Redwood City Police

A California man has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving after he was found asleep behind the wheel of his Tesla believed to be running on autopilot mode.

Alexander Samek, 45, was arrested in Palo Alto early Friday morning at 3.37am in his grey Model S Tesla and was identified by Redwood City Police. 

Cops followed his car after spotting the Tesla driving south on Highway 101 at 70mph while it looked like the driver was passed out behind the wheel.

They suspect the car was on autopilot mode, but a proper investigation will take place.  

In order to get the car to stop a California Highway Patrol officer had to get in front of the Tesla to make it slow down and eventually pull over at a gas station.

When officers peered into the car, the driver was still passed out. 

The officer who pulled him over said the driver appeared very drowsy and possibly sleeping, according to KTVU. 

The driver was woken up and allegedly failed a field sobriety test and was arrested, according to ABC.

But this isn't the first time an incident like this has happened. 

In January CHP officers pulled over a Tesla and found an allegedly drunk driver also passed out behind the wheel and was found to have a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit, according to CBS.  

Officer Art Montiel says the autopilot function on the smart cars should only be used to assist driers while they're awake and sober and actively using the wheel. 

Tesla hasn't commented on the incident.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
