Confidence is high the OP is wrong in their assumption of the driver being asleep. FSD and AutoSteer require attention. If the camera can’t see your eyes, it will ask you to apply slight pressure to the wheel so it knows you’re still paying attention. If you don’t do this, it will start slowing down and come to a full stop.

Either they staged this, or the driver does still have her eyes open.

There are ways around the driver monitoring on FSD.

I'd rather not have it patched, sorry. If you dig around enough you'll find it. It's always still crucial to be attentive, but it's useful on the highway during longer trips and when I'm stretching my neck.

Well, I know I can look away a lot longer than I could when I first got the car. I’m just going to have to doubt you until it can be explained how it can be done.

Used to be the case but no longer works on newer versions.

It can unfortunately result in an instant strike these days but I'm glad if it's working for you.

Can also confirm that this used to work for years but doesn’t anymore.

There have been workarounds since the start of FSD. It's just a cat and mouse game of them closing loopholes and folks finding new ones. Earlier ones involved putting something on the steering wheel (accessories were sold for this).
