Thanks to the forward thinking folks at Tesla Motors we can see what freeway traffic will look like in the future when “inefficient” human driven cars are replaced by self driving models- basically a bunch of people sleeping at the wheel.
The problem is- this Tesla Model S isn't actually self-driven, and while the Autopilot has a function called Autosteer that moves the car about for you drivers are supposed to stay ready to take the wheel.
Sleeping while your car drives you home after work does seem like a pretty cool innovation, but since we're not there yet technologically sleepy drivers like the one in this video are going to be nightmares on wheels.

You could drive halfway down New Mexico on autopilot. No traffic. Just dirt and sky for hundreds of miles.
