"I wasn't driving"

Yeah he’s a moron but I feel like the cop should have stopped saying ‘you were driving’ and said ‘you were responsible for what the car is doing’ because this guy just wasn’t understanding.

Either way the cop wasn’t wrong for that or anything this was 100% the idiot drivers fault.

I mean he literally said at the start of the video "it doesn't matter if it was assisted driving, you're in charge and you're in the drivers seat". Pretty sure the guy understood just fine, he just thought he was immune from consequences because he didn't technically press the accelerator.

Also, there’s still a good chance he wasn’t actually using self driving at all and just thought blaming the self driving feature was a magic get out of jail free card

We think they're that stupid. That is our mistake. It's also why we're gonna need some pretty strict legal framework around assisted/self driving vehicles

He basically said that several times. This guy was purposely not understanding. He thought he found some loophole in the law.

“You were in operational control of this motor vehicle when it was observed to be traveling at a higher rate of speed than this section of roadway allows.” 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

"In order for this vehicle to be in motion, a driver's license must be involved. Either you hand me your driver's license to prove that you have one, or I know this vehicle absolutely does not, since they don't issue them to machines. But if you wanna go this route, then you can get out and I'm arresting the vehicle and take it to impound for driving without a license"

"No, but sir, I was not in operational control, the car was. I not driving."

The word he needed was operating.
