This link below to a news article regarding a crash involving a Skoda
that sped along a motorway at 119mph after it's cruise control "got
stuck", resulting in the car hitting a parked lorry, killing the driver
instantly was sent to me today. I am sure there is more to it given that
the report is from the Daily Mail, but this is likely to have
implications for other manufacturers and the autonomous cars out there.
What is interesting is that the Start/Stop button failed to have an
effect.
