Autonomous Vehicles

I installed an Autopilot in an RC plane , its supposed to fly by itself without user input , I tethered it to my Beaver . Didn't end well , damn Autopilots

Our dog is on auto-pilot, but she's also half-blind, has poor hearing and is going senile, so I wouldn't let her drive my car.

An angry dropkick deliberately ran his vehicle at me today and stopped only inches from hitting me, so I'm all in favour of auto braking.
He'll soon be discussing his behaviour with the cops.

Wouldn't of if you were female.

I liked the ant going over to look at the damage towards the end of the footage.

All in all, not a bad landing.............. no one died.

The string breaks with females, seen it quite a few times. Maybe because they use white rather than green.

Apparently it's my fault that there is 10 minutes of congestion on local roads before and after school. Seriously?
He didn't agree when I suggested he talk to the local council. On his third visit to complain he used his car to block the school entrance. When I photographed his number plate he ran his car at me. Dropkick.

I don't think 'dropkick' quite goes far enough - I hope you are taking that footage/photo to the Police and making a complaint - I think the Constabulary need to have a word or two with him... If it's a video - send it to 'Today tonight' they love juicy little clips like that. :)

Pics and incident report are being processed to identify the driver. I better not say more as its a police matter now, since he has refused to see reason. Dropkick was my polite description - my real opinion is unprintable.
