AP & Reuters reported that the driver had a portable DVD player with him and was watching a Harry Potter movie. After passing under the truck the vehicle traveled another quarter mile before hitting a telephone pole. The driver had 8 speeding tickets. Friends describe him as fearless and a speed demon.

Apparently, this guy thought he had an autonomous car already and was "driving" like he did. You do get the impression that a lot of people out there are anxious to shed all personal initiative and responsibility even before the technology that they want to surrender it to is mature.
