Who would have thought living in the future would be this stupid? Driverless cars are here, but they’re not good. Although they can perform basic tasks like turning, slowing down and stopping at red lights, they fail at more complicated maneuvers like “dealing with trolls” and “being able to respond to the police.” Oh yeah, they also don’t realize that you don’t have to stop for pigeons. Again, the future!

The idiocy of these vehicles is amplified when they encounter one of their own. In short, they expect them to behave like normal, non-stupid drivers (a big ask in San Francisco already). If they don’t, they honk — leading to situations like these where driverless cars get stuck endlessly honking at each other.
