... Send the car home.
Reminds me of the old TV series Lassie or Rin Tin Tin the dog...
Home boy, go home boy.... get help.... uh .. uh I'm hurt....

Thank you for the youthful memories - hi yo silver, away!

I can't remember if it was Uber or Lyft but one of them cancelled proposed autonomous cab tests in California because California said that they had to have a licensed driver in the vehicle.

We have Uber cabs here at our location now, no autonomous vehicles as yet. They started the cheaps fair cab company about 18months ago...

We also have a company setting up Pizza and Beer Drone Aircraft deliveries. The air traffic control regulations are still being sorted.
The company is using our location as one of the test bench field locations. If they can't get the air regulations settled, the company said they will move the entire service over seas.

I believe that was the Lone Ranger on his horse Silver.

Not forgetting his faithful kymosabe Tonto....

Same metaphore, still gets a laugh....

WOW, beer and pizza deliveries by drone; in the USA, we are so far behind (about 17 hours behind)

Many states do require that a licensed driver be seated in what would otherwise be considered the "driver's" seat.

it would be best to sit in the passenger seat and nag the shit out of it

Obviously you guy's don't drink enough beer, it wouldn't be profitable to fly drones....

<hicup>.....

The aussies will be up for paying drone insurance soon, incase there is an accident with a beer case.

Bugger the drone....

Or when you take a cab home.

Random thought:

Red v.s. Blue season 13 ending... now THAT is a proper cliffhanger!

I liked the TV series Andromeda, even if the amount of drama was sometimes larger than I cared for.
Deus ex machina is OK when used cleverly though.
