Self-driving cars aren’t quite self-driving yet, as we keep having to learn.
Despite the fact that Tesla had repeatedly reminded people that their full self-driving isn’t actually, well, fully self-driving (can’t blame people for misunderstanding), there have been numerous stories of people becoming a little too reliant on the technology — and suffering the consequences. For example, one guy almost hit a train — surely that should be enough to put people off the tech for a bit, right?
Well, if you’ve been looking for reasons to be hopeful about self-driving, you can rest easy knowing that the self-driving brain is just as much of an asshole as the human one.

In this video, a long line of cars can be seen waiting to turn to the left. Rather than find a place at the end, self-driving just says fuck it and skips to the front, undoubtedly leaving a lot of frustrated drivers in its wake.

Yeah, as plenty of people noted, what this car did was technically illegal, as you’re not supposed to drive over a solid line. However, most cops won’t stop you for something like that — instead, doing this makes you significantly more likely to be a victim of road rage over anything else.
Point is, if you use full-self driving, be ready for a fight.
