I'm surprised that there wasn't some kind of fail safe.

There is. It's called a driver.

Shortage of smart drivers, too. I guess they figured if the car was smart the driver didn't need to be, but evidence to date indicates otherwise, I think.

" . . . I guess they figured if the car was smart the driver didn't need to be, . . .

I gave up on trusting "smart" cars when, at 65MPH on the interstate, our GPS told me to "Perform a U-turn."!! Nope . . . not quite ready for prime time.

The problem is, there are drivers, and there are riders often called passengers. Too many times these days, there is a rider or passenger occupying the space that is reserved for a driver. This is caused by the lack of real drivers.

True, but . . . you assume the seat, you assume the responsibility.
