Can you get drunk and drive an auto pilot car?

Technically you would be a passenger and not in charge, so you can't be charged for drunk driving.
It shouldn't be any different than stepping on to a self driving bus when inebriated.

Whenever self-driving cars come up in conversation, I usually bring this up. I've had a night or two where I've slept it off in my car for a few hours before driving home and honestly, I think this should be an actual focus of the technology. Some people out there will try to drive home and being able to press a button and arrive at home would, I think, prevent more crashes than it would cause.

But that would reduce revenues!
Remember, Blood Alcohol Limits were lowered in this country because the courts were getting less convictions.
The limit is so low now, and the law is written so as to convict people who are borderline at the judges discretion, that many of those charged and convicted were fine to drive.
