Suicide by Robot?

Tesla stopped by Kenosha County Sheriff 

Guy was asleep in his Tesla that was going 80 MPH down the interstate. Must have a lot of faith in modern electronic gizmos, or a death wish. This was the third time he's been caught.

I have no idea what Wisconsin traffic laws are but it seems likely that 'driver' is guilty of three counts of reckless driving and should have his driver's license revoked. Of course he would claim he wasn't actually driving and a slick liar er um lawyer would likely get him off..................
If he can afford that car, he can likely afford that slick lawyer.

How does that work?
Can the Tesla SW recognize a cop car flashing it from behind?
Or does the cop car have to overtake, pull in front and then slow down to a stop?
If the latter what's to stop the Tesla SW overtaking the cop car again?

One story I read said the cop followed him for a couple of miles before the guy woke up and realized he was being chased.
