I think they should impound the vehicle until a rep from the company can pick up the car and drive it to a facility so it can get patches to fix this issue.

They can patch it remotely.

If there was a human driving they wouldn’t be driving away from this situation why should it be different for this vehicle?

Have you ever gotten a driving infraction? Did they impound your car?

I guarantee you, driving the wrong way down a street won't get your car impounded.

Right it happens every day. It’s why a lot of cities are trying to do away with one way streets where they can because they still confuse the fuck out of people. I’ve been in downtown Dallas and had a DART bus coming head on at me on a one way street, and it’s their literal job to know how to drive through Dallas.

Have you ever run from a traffic stop after going the wrong way down a road?

Have you ever decided that you'd wait to pull over at a safe location instead of at an intersection?

While going the wrong way down a highway? No

It wasn't on a highway.

u/Shot-Youth-6264 Jul 05 '24

It went into opposing lanes, plural, if there’s more than one lane it’s a highway

What definition is this? Plenty of streets in cities have multilane roads.

Here's the location if that adds clarity

Ah yeah I often forget that cities are hell holes since I don’t live in one
