Allegedly a true story, a wealthy physician from overseas who routinely flew a jet plane but very rarely drove a motor vehicle, brought his family to see America., They rented a large motorhome and left Wshington DC after a few days seeing the sights next to the airport where they entered the US. As they proceeded down INTERSTATE 95, the physician felt nature calling, so he hit the button for cruise control and got up to walk back to the toilet. He wiped out the rented $150,000 motorhome, but no one seriously injured.
Frankly, if it keeps little arse wipes in their under powered zip cars from pulling out in front of semis and folks hauling trailers, I am all for it. Had to stand on the brakes too darn many times because of nit wits in three cylinder vehicles. I have that beeper in my car that tells me when i am close when backing up, or when some object is right along side. In my big f-250, that beeper is great and I have come to depend on it, instead of the mirrors. My in-laws have a back up camera on their SUV. That is a little weird but their both elderly and can't trn their heads like 20 yrs ago. There is a bit of a debate as to whether a bar patron can ride in such an autonomous vehicle with out being DUI. In many states just being drunk and the only person in a vehicle, except an rv, is enough for DUI
