Is it really a "DUI" if you're riding in a self-driving vehicle?

These are the things that cross my mind when there's nothing to do at work.

Yes, as you need to be fully present while your car is self driving in case something happens, not wasted and unable to see straight. Same thing goes for people who use the opportunity to sleep while their car drives, they get pulled over

I use to wonder, a chicken has two legs and two wings but how many fingers does a chicken have 💭 🙋‍♂️

Or how can they make ribs without the bone?

I guess , the answer my friend is blowing in the wind.

@Repete What if you live alone and you die in the living room? What's it called after that?

This has been "Deep Thoughts".

@uncalled4 I wonder how many homes has a dieing room could it have been shortened to dining room ? 😂 that could be bad .

Nothing like deep thinking on all the tough questions that could keep a man up all night.

Get drunk and head home setting the self-drive feature and test your thoughts out in court if you want to find out.

@WillaKissing I wasn't planning on it, actually.
WillaKissing · 56-60
@uncalled4 I was hoping you would say that, but I would assume self-drive or not you buy the DUI. It boils down to did you start the car to begin with that is "Operating".

@WillaKissing That's my assumption.

If your vehicle is involved in a accident should the manufacturer and every politician who supported it be charged with a crime

@MarineBob No, you're still supposed to supervise and act if the automation fails, like every other automation in existence, present and in history.

What do even politicians have to do with the fact your car may crash? Do you sue politicians if a petrol based one crashes into you?

@GlitterEater In California I believe full autonomous 'level 5' self-driving vehicles are allowed. That's where pretty much all the Tesla crashes happen.
zonavar68 · 51-55, M
Yes because you are driving under the ignorance and regardless of whether a vehicle is self-driving or not the 'driver' is responsible for the vehicle at all times when operating.
yeah... since ultimately you have control of the vehicle, one wouldn't wouldn't want a drunk pilot flying on auto pilot 🤔

The horse gets the ticket for allowing you to ride. The horse is a self-driving vehicle is it not
sladejr · 56-60, M
They can't prove you programmed the car. Or when 👍

Isn’t that DUAI?
lumberjackslam · 41-45, M
no that's why you should take robo taxis. you can have body parts hanging from the fender after your trip, and you are free from blame and hold no liability.

@lumberjackslam That sounds COOL! 😜

If you are in possession of the key to the vehicle, you will be charged with a DUI because you have what's known as 'care and control' of the vehicle, which means you can turn off the self-drive mode at any time and operate it if you so desire. That also means you are in control of the vehicle while drunk.

@sladejr
Actually, you're wrong. First of all, you have no clue what I'm talking about. Operating Under the Influence is NOT 'Care and Control'. Operating Under the Influence applies when a vehicle is in motion, or the engine is running and you're sitting behind the wheel intoxicated while parked.

Care and Control applies when the vehicle is NOT in motion, nor is the engine running, but you are inside the vehicle with the key in your possession and are ABLE to operate the vehicle if you so desired while intoxicated. Therein lies the difference.

The law I speak of is fully enforced in Scandinavia where I'm from and which you probably couldn't find on a map using both hands if you tried, plus all of Europe, plus all of Canada, plus all of that backwoods nation where you live that's doing it's best not to fall into Third World status as we speak.

@SandWitch What do I know. I'm only from a family of attorneys who defend, and win, these cases all the time.

Hurry run out to the ice floes - your family is floating away
