Can you sleep in a self-driving car?
I’ve read that autonomous driving is right around the corner. My friend bought a Tesla that has full self-driving capabilities and he raves about it. But since I always get sleepy on longer rides, I think it might be a bad idea for me. Can I sleep in a self-driving vehicle?

While companies like
Tesla
have popularized autonomous driving, misinformation abounds. No cars available to the public are fully autonomous, so you cannot sleep in a self-driving car. Current cars with these types of features still require human interaction to avoid obstacles or make split-second decisions.
In terms of self-driving cars, each autonomous vehicle is given a rating between Level 1 and Level 5. Level 1 has some level of autonomous control, while Level 5 is fully self-operating and requires no human interaction.
Tesla Full Self-Driving mode or General Motors’ SuperCruise are some of the most advanced technologies, but these are still only Level 2. However, many automakers have plans to unveil Level 3 technology between 2023 and 2025.
Although you can’t sleep in a self-driving car, you shouldn’t sleep on your car insurance either. Insurers change rates regularly, so you can miss out on savings if you don’t use the
