Interesting! I wonder if it's a violation to look like you are sleeping, from a car that's following from behind.

I guess the motor vehicle codes including driver requirements haven't been updated for driverless cars. Actually unless driverless cars are legal in Wisconsin he absolutely should get a ticket.

Regardless of each states rules sleeping while being in the drivers seat is beyond stupid.
