Cougar_ml Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Seems to me it's the same as getting a DUI on a horse riding home from the bar. The horse might know the way and be able to do it, but that doesn't mean it's a smart thing to do, and it's still illegal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know he doesn't drink and ride though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerbie18 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 If autopilot ever becomes advanced enough, I wonder if it would ever become acceptable to let your car drive your drunk ass home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe it would every be acceptable. Unless you were in a "driverless cab". Then you're a definable passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Historian Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Janice nailed the answer. I've asked around because I know we will face this in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you're a definable passenger. You're probably correct. Once Uber introduces their first driverless cabs, eventually, there will have to be court rulings to follow. Fun times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
