The driver is in the drivers' seat and is driving, and is responsible for reducing the speeed to comply with speed limits - either by switching to the lowest speed profile ("Sloth"), or by disengaging FSD and manually slowing down.

You can be given a DUI even if you are sitting in the driver's seat with the engine turned off. Sitting in that seat means you are still in control of the car as far as the law sees it.

Even if you're under the limit, if they have a way of knowing when you were not there (eg, camera footage), they use the rate of alcohol metabolization to determine what your BAC would have been when you drove there.

From the article:

The Tesla feature known as “Full Self-Driving (Supervised)” does not turn your car into the driver of your car. To some, that may sound like anti-Tesla propaganda, but take it from Tesla itself, which writes in a disclaimer:

    “Full Self-Driving (Supervised) requires active driver supervision with eyes on the road and does not make the vehicle autonomous. You, and any drivers you authorize, are always responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle when using these features, as well as for any and all speeding, tolls, parking and other traffic violations even when it is in use. It’s your responsibility to make sure that you only use Full Self-Driving (Supervised) when it’s safe and legal to do so.”

It’s not “full” self driving then is it?

Correct, never has been. It's marketing in the vein of "serverless" and "wireless".
