Brown, who will turn 40 in September, has put his longevity down to a love of the game, self-drive, and a desire to make family proud.

After the astronauts return to Earth, these vehicles would be able to self-drive around as robotic explorers, similar to NASA’s rovers on Mars.

Cruise has suspended all robot taxi services in the United States, saying it needs to win back public trust with a full safety review of its vehicles and self-drive technology.

However, he wrote in a witness statement that his Tesla "automatically manoeuvred its way around the police vehicle to prevent a collision" because it was in self-drive mode.

“There is a misconception that just because a vehicle has the capability to self-drive that it doesn’t need human oversight,” an auto lobbyist told The Washington Times.
