We have a ton of self driving cars out here and they are a menace. When they see flashing lights they just stop dead where they are and the emergency vehicles have to find a way around them. They stop unexpectedly all the time. Your best bet when you see one is to speed up and get around it as quickly as possible. They disrupt the traffic around them because they don't act like human drivers unless you cinder high/drunk/senile drivers. And the accidents are never considered their fault.

After frantically calling the Cruise support center, they informed him that Peaches had become confused and after the car took him back to the destination, it did the same thing.

I have a simple rule of thumb for driving. If in doubt, stop.

Billions of man hours of tech evolution and money, and they can't even cover the basics.

Status update, once departure announcement has been made, anything that increases time to destination should trigger a "confused state" terminating the ride, unless otherwise instructed by occupant. Is there even an internal voice recondition in this thing? Big red button to stop ride in case of emergency?

Reminds me of this. Really shitty design.

Reminds me of the JohnnyCab scene in Total Recall.
