People with whom we share the road

"The operator was traveling at approximately 73 mph when he fell asleep, losing control of his vehicle. The operator left the travel portion of the roadway onto the grass in the median. The operator tried to gain control of the vehicle by steering toward the right, causing the vehicle to cross back over both travel lanes and into the ledge off the east side of the roadway. The vehicle came to an uncontrolled rest facing southbound. The engine was thrown about 100' north from where the vehicle came to rest."

The day we have self driving cars can't come fast enough. Although I loathe losing control of driving, I see so much crazy stuff going on that something simply has to be done. People driving up the freaking bike lane, rolling through every intersection, zooming through the residential areas at 2x the speed limit, just a couple hours ago they wouldn't even let an emergency vehicle pass through an intersection. WTF is wrong with these people?

A bear driving a car leaves Denver at 11:55AM traveling south at 55mph. Another bear driving a car leaves Albuquerque at 3pm, traveling North at 63mph. At what time do the bears meet?
