This Tesla driver was spotted sleeping while traveling at up to 62 mph.

According to a fellow motorist, two kids were sitting in the back seats.

It appears the driver’s sunglasses fooled the driver monitoring system.

Footage circulating online appears to show a woman behind the wheel of a Tesla Model Y traveling along the Trans- Canada Highway between Golden and Revelstoke, all while seemingly fast asleep. If accurate, the episode points to some worrying gaps in the vehicle’s driver-monitoring system.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f");

}

});

Fellow Canadian motorist Carleigh King spotted the drowsy driver on Sunday afternoon. In the video, the woman’s head is slumped over, and she appears blissfully unaware that she’s snoozing at approximately 62 mph (100 km/h). It’s a terrifying watch, though far from the only time we’ve come across something like it.

The Tesla in question is presumably fitted with Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) package, which includes a driver-monitoring system. This setup uses the Model Y’s in-car camera to track the driver’s eye movements and torque sensors in the steering wheel to detect whether the driver is alert. However, as we’ve seen in the past, the camera system can be easily fooled by wearing sunglasses, like this driver did.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("89c65a14-4682-4807-a4bb-5436c5361bee");

} else{

adpushup.triggerAd("f25825bd-1260-4574-84ce-2b26e315fad8");

}

});

She Wasn’t Driving Alone…

Speaking with CBC , King says that, shockingly, the woman wasn’t driving by herself. In fact, there were reportedly two children sitting in the Tesla’s rear seats, meaning their lives were also in danger because of the driver’s slumber. It’s unclear how the driver circumvented the steering wheel’s torque sensors, but we do know that several companies sell cheap accessories to bypass them.

According to Cpl. Michael McLaughlin from the B.C. Highway Patrol, the driver could face some serious charges for her careless behavior.

“Anything from a simple violation ticket all the way up to criminal charges for dangerous operation of a motor vehicle,” he said. “There could also potentially be criminal charges related to negligence if there are children in the vehicle and those children are put at risk by the driver not supervising as the vehicle is traveling down the highway.”

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

Flipper Zero firmware continues as community developers gain greater influence

Company reduces direct support while opening development to users

Over one million users force Flipper to rethink communication

Flipper Devices has confirmed that firmware development for its popular pen-testing gadget will continue.

The company clarified that a smaller internal team will now oversee the project, relying more heavily on contributions from its user base.

This shift follows weeks of backlash after interviews and online discussions gave the impression that active development had effectively stopped altogether.

A new structure for community involvement

The company explained that more than one million Flipper Zero users now generate a volume of requests its small team simply cannot manage through direct channels.

As a result, all communication will move to GitHub Discussions, where community members can submit and vote on proposed changes.

Requests will be evaluated weekly, giving contributors a clearer sense of how proposals move through the pipeline over time.

Pull requests from the community remain welcome, though they will face stricter review standards before acceptance into the official firmware.

Any firmware change will require mandatory integration and regression testing, processes that will themselves be open to community participation.

The development team says it will maintain particular oversight over AI-generated code affecting low-level functions, since such contributions are often difficult to verify.

Interface changes and updates requiring new documentation will also receive close attention from the remaining internal staff.

Shifting focus toward new hardware

Flipper Zero Firmware 1.0 arrived in September 2024, following roughly three years of active development work by the company.

The most recent stable release, version 1.4.3, has been available since December 2025 without major updates since.

At that stage, the team reportedly considered the firmware mature, citing a stable SDK and fully implemented promised features.

Attention has since turned toward newer hardware projects, including the Flipper One open Linux platform built with community assistance.

The company also introduced the Busy Bar device, aimed at helping people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder reduce daily distractions.

That product is scheduled for open sale beginning July 14 2026 across the US, UK, Europe, and Canada.

Flipper Devices says disabling direct messages across social media channels was necessary to redirect the growing volume of user requests.

Whether this restructured, community-driven model can sustain meaningful firmware progress remains uncertain given the reduced internal resources.
