Apparently cars can not only drive without human help, they can crash themselves without any human help, too.

Thats why they have "E" brakes.

Would you want to blame your wife? And then try to live there after?

No way. Were it my house, I would be 40 miles away and it would still be my fault and I would happily own up to it. I sleep well at night

Amen, brother... I can hear it now; "What did you do with the car that made it____when I____?" (Fill in the blanks to fit your situation.)

Yeah, that's if you wanted to be able to wake up in the morning.

I wonder if either of them know that the onboard computer logs what the car has been doing? Originally they would only keep 30 seconds of logs if the air bags triggers, they have changed a LOT since going to the tech level they're at. I think they hold a log for 30 days if not longer. Kind of like a "Flight data recorder"

Just a random thought...if you get plastered and use your self driving car to get home, can you be arrested for drunk driving?
