We're kinda getting used to self-driving cars eerily being tested in our streets by companies such as Google,sexuality and eroticism among males in moslem societies by john dececco Uber, Lyft and Apple.

Just a week beforehand, Virginia had greenlighted autonomous driving tests on "light traffic conditions", and local university Virginia Tech has been trialling autonomous cars in the area.
However, when testing autonomous vehicles, tech companies usually deploy a human overseer to make sure the car doesn't go rogue and starts running over old ladies crossing the street.
This car, instead, seemed to have gone full HAL 9000:
But fear not, because NBC 4's transportation reporter Adam Tuss decided to investigate.
He tracked the car down, followed it around the city until he could pull up to it at a stop sign. When he approached, he noticed the driver's seat had two hands and two legs.

NBC News reached out to Virginia Tech's Transportation Institute which provided a somewhat satisfactory explanation for what happened (and no, it's not a YouTube prank).
“The driver’s seating area is configured to make the driver less visible within the vehicle, while still allowing him or her the ability to safely monitor and respond to surroundings,” a spokesperson for the institute said.
