The woman had two funbags, but I don't know how effective they were in an accident.

1. Looks like whatever steering gadget that the "driver" grabbed was down at his knees. I wonder if his braking device was a joystick as well.

2. I wonder if any of the dozing pax knew that the "driver" was operating his phone, not the vehicle.

Great way to taxi people in a self driving car you don’t need to bother with driving.

Looked like there was a steering wheel to me.

I wonder if he might have made things worse by excessive and panicked "control inputs" when he grabbed the wheel?

One of the dumbest inventions humankind has ever conceived. There are too many hazards to trust a computer.

I had an articulated lorry coming towards me the other day with farm machinery on it (ploughshares) and it made a turn with me on the outside. All I could fixate on was the load on the trailer and planning my escape route if it shifted. Nothing happened as it was well secured, but a self driving car would have got me killed. I can't ever see a computer having the same level of forethought as the human mind. They don't and never will proactively imagine a scenario and formulate a strategy to avoid it.

That's what you get for treating your car like a bus or train, awareness-and-responsibility-wise. Self-driving vehicles are turning out to be, ultimately, a societal corrective mechanism taking out those stupid enough to buy one AND use that system.
