Had the officer pulled ahead and slowed in front of the sleeping driver’s vehicle, would the vehicle have stopped?
Thank you.
Just a guess, but this Kia probably doesn’t have sophisticated hands free driving like a Tesla (and others) has. I could see the car “ping ponging” between the painted lines. My 2017 Volt has “lane keep assist” that is not very good, just bounces from left to right like this video shows. So to answer your question, I don’t think this car would stop or change lanes and drive around a car in front of it. The cop did what he had to do to keep the Kia from killing someone.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the driver got a sobriety test right after the video ends
If the car had a collision assist system then, Yes, the police could have pulled in front and stopped and the perp’s car would have also stopped.
But not every LEO knows which cars have this feature.
