A little searching around this viral video finds it to be from 2016
Did that include “searching” the timestamp on the video itself, which indicates the exact date?

Thus proving that “Jesus Take the Wheel” is NOT a safe driving tip.

What’s actually gone viral is a Reddit post embedding a video swiped from Tik Tok, so finding the YouTube original is the “a little searching around” part

The story is dated May 2016. Reads like she was on the lam for a while!

That’s the most benign driverless car footage I’ve seen in a while!

Maybe the vehicle was leased, and the lease had just run out?

Date stamps can be wrong, of course (mine has to be set manually), but maybe cars should default to stopping if no one is in the drivers seat. The computer knows when the seat is empty, maybe put it into park or something.

A great illustration of the importance of context! She did after all make the right decision - getting out of the car and not driving is definitely the thing to do when you’re drunk! - but also just a tad too late and thus in rather an inconvenient location.

Driverless but not self-driving. 
Of course the date stamp could be wrong. But it’s there, and there’s no explanation of why it was ignored and 2016 chosen as the date instead. If one is going to flat-out ignore something so obvious, one should say so and explain why.
oh, yeah. i remember the last time i used foot. wheeee!
PSA: “foot: not even once.”
shit’ll boot you up!
