This lends further proof to highly documented scientific theory:

"Trying to make something fool-proof highly underestimates the perseverance of fools."

There are many reasons errr rather lawsuits as to why why 'guide rails' are no longer called 'guard rails' or 'cruise control' quickly dropped the 'auto-cruise' nomenclature when first commercially introduced and so on & so forth...

So....

....we are in a very dangerous time period where all of this "semi" autonomous driving tech is populating the market. This "half-way" auto tech is where we will see huge numbers of these types of incidents.

Google has it right, it needs to be FULLY autonomous or ZERO autonomous. This "part time" stuff where drivers still have to intervene, just doesn't cut it.

When the cars have no steering wheels and they do EVERYTHING, that will eliminate the accidents for the most part.

I'll keep my old Boxster, thank you very much.

Cheers.
