People say the Volt is so quiet and peaceful. Here's proof

Lol...another SoCal incident.

Albeit she was charged with DUI and probably passed out due to that.

Lucky there was no other damage.

 

[Steverino]

Wow, she was very lucky to be going slow. Could have ended tragically for her and others.

Many times local drivers doing the same thing (passed out in car, stalled at an intersection, etc) have been using synthetic drugs. Don't call it synthetic pot; marijuana has nothing to do with these man made formulations.

There is a difference between 'passed out' and 'falls asleep'. Hopefully the nanny cars of the future will detect inattention and take action.

Exactly. Nothing funny here.

Well, now GM should disable the creeping, so this will never happen again....but it will probably just end up being 12 horn honks when no peddle activity in 'd' occurs for more than a 1/4 mile...

At least in theory SuperCruise will deal with this. Once you stop looking at the road, and attempts to get a response from you fail, SuperCruise will find a safe place to stop the car and call for help.

It looks at your eyes, and a human tries to talk to you. If that doesn't work, the human sends emergency services to your GPS location.

She shouldn't be allowed to legally drive for 2-3 years at least. DUI'ers get off so easy it's useless unless they've had a few of them.

It's useless even then. The severity of punishment has virtually no effect of rates of DUI reoffense. Those that can learn to not do that learn from the simple matter of being arrested and having to go through the whole legal thing. Those that can't learn from that, don't, and typically go on to reoffend on an ongoing basis until they either quit drinking entirely, quit driving entirely, or both when they die. It basically doesn't matter what the punishments are, or how severely they ramp up; the only REAL influence from 2nd offense on is that it's tough to get arrested for DUI if you're already in jail at the time. Even taking away licenses and mandating interlocks on cars doesn't really help.

That's really sad. Physical pain needs to be a punishment for certain crimes.

What would happen in the Gen 2 with adaptive cruise control? The car would go up to speed and lane change assist would keep it nudged in the lines?
