BREAKING NEWS BRIEF
A 38-year-old insists he was tired, but definitely not sleeping, while headed to work on Sunday with his Tesla’s autopilot feature activated. The person who called the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department to report his negligence, however, said otherwise.
“The driver’s head was down and [he] was not looking at the road,” a deputy observed when he arrived on the scene and drove alongside the tired Tesla owner.
“I followed you for about two miles and you were sleeping, you were totally like this in the car,” the deputy said when he was finally able to get the vehicle to pull over. The official had even turned on his car’s sirens and flashing lights, but it still took several minutes for the driver to notice and park alongside the highway.
“I was upside of you, I was looking at you and you were doing this, your eyes were closed,” the deputy continued. “I understand you have autopilot, but if something was to happen, you’re not able to make that conscious decision to stop in a hurry.”

LEARNING FROM THE PAST
5 years ago today, this flight disappeared over the Mediterranean Sea
The flight took off from Cairo, Egypt and was on its way to Paris, France when it dropped off of the radar. A total of 66 flight crew members and passengers were on board. After disappearing so suddenly without any distress calls or warning signs, a search was launched to find the missing aircraft.
A few days after the flight disappeared, it became apparent that it had crashed in the Mediterranean Sea. Small pieces of debris and some passenger belongings were found washed ashore, but it took a full month to find the complete wreckage.
Egyptian authorities originally believed that terrorism was to blame for the plane’s fate, but French officials quickly countered and denied those claims. So what really happened to EgyptAir flight 804?
