A woman was found asleep at the wheel of a self-driving car during morning rush hour on Highway 417 in Ottawa, according to police. An officer recorded her sitting in the driver’s seat with her eyes closed and her hands off the steering wheel. She is expected to receive a careless-driving ticket carrying a fine of 490 Canadian dollars and six penalty points, which would immediately trigger a warning letter from her province.

Ottawa police said drivers must continue to pay attention and remain responsible while using autonomous-driving functions. Police officer Michael Fathi said it was the first time Ottawa police had caught someone sleeping behind the wheel of a self-driving car, and warned that the technology was not foolproof. The vehicle may have alerted the woman to approaching traffic before she woke up.
