Not unless that human driver was blindly following their navigation app like a total idiot. A person would have said, "oh shit, I want to get out of here."

Anyway, I believe under it all we've got a tension between generally two different worldviews: those who believe Star Trek is utopia, and those who would rather life was more Hobbittish.

Personally, The Shire sounds like a nice place to live. Can we choose that please? You can still have computers, let's just chill on the whole racing to meet our cyberpunk future.
