Idiot Criminal of the Day

Google's gotten a lot of attention for using SELF-DRIVING CARS to take photos for their mapping. But if anyone was worried about self-driving cars causing accidents, remember this: Human drivers are probably WORSE. Last week, Google had an actual HUMAN driving around in one of their mapping cars, taking photos in Bogor, Indonesia. Big mistake. Apparently the guy slammed into a minivan, then drove off once he saw there was real damage. I'm not sure how he thought he could make an inconspicuous getaway in a car with a giant camera rig on top, but he did. And as he was fleeing the scene, he slammed into ANOTHER minivan, then bounced off and slammed into a THIRD car. Finally, at that point, he gave up. He was arrested and there's been no word from Google. By the way, the cops say the repairs to the first van he hit would've only cost him 200,000 Indonesia Rupiah, the equivalent of $17.50.
