Side issue: Anyone know what a Google Driverless car would make of a fireball heading towards it out of the sky? Is there a default action in case of uncertainty? Brake? Swerve? Any of those by these drivers could have been worse than the "yebat"



This would be a case where the driver would be expected to take over.


Car Voice: Yebat! There's a freaking asteroid heading down the road. On the wrong side! Bloody Thrun never had a test case for this. Sod it. You drive ....

Thank you, I needed a good laugh

Edit: I have real work I should be doing: http://i.imgur.com/usRX31z.jpg
