    I swear I remember hearing about a science fiction story where the “self-driving” cars actually just had people hidden in them.

        I watched this sketch comedy show in Iceland as a kid, where every week they had a section called “the men behind the curtains”. It was just people hidden away inside ATMs, vending machines etc. pretending it was a machine doing the work.
