Neither the driverless car or the “safty driver “.

Investigators have not said yet if the "Safety Driver" was impaired or distracted, (the question being, if the car is doing the driving, what are you doing, Safety Driver?

If the squares in your grid were scaled to relative sizes, I see that black square as bigger than all the others, with top left being the smallest. <br /><br />The family must have to put up an electric fence to keep the lawyers out. <br /><br />I think this whole thing is going to be killed off once enough lawsuits start. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.com
