Edit: please disregard. I didn't read carefully enough. Obviously it's not dangerous to fall asleep when someone else is driving.

Falling asleep while driving sounds quite dangerous, even with automatic breaking.

Describing this as "he gets in a car and it starts driving" seems like a pretty intentional decision; I suspect that either the brother doesn't drive, or this only happens when someone else is driving.
