A driver in Switzerland sat in the back seat while driving on the Autobahn and left the steering of his car to the assistance systems. He was caught for filming his ride and making it public. Lucerne police said the video, which circulated on social media, showed a driver in the back seat as the car continued to drive autonomously with its assistance systems.
The ride on the A2 motorway in the canton of Lucerne took place at the end of September. Police found the video and were investigating the driver. It was a 21-year-old Serb, she said. He confessed what had happened and had to surrender his driver’s license.
In Switzerland it is not allowed to drive autonomously with your car. The driver must be able to intervene at any time, a spokesman for the Lucerne police said on request.
