Tesla drivers play Jenga, sleep, using Autopilot in videos

SAN FRANCISCO -- Some Tesla owners have used the cars' Autopilot feature to take their hands off the wheel -- and film themselves doing anything but driving. YouTube videos uploaded since Tesla introduced the self-driving feature in October show drivers playing games, pretending to sleep, and in general, not holding the steering wheel. This kind of distracted driving is exactly what Tesla Motors Inc., under federal investigation after a man using Autopilot died from injuries sustained in a May crash, says drivers should not do. The Autopilot feature is designed to allow Teslas to cruise highways without drivers steering, braking or accelerating. The car is supposed to stay in its lane and stop suddenly if traffic halts.
