Just another way for governments to more cargo , suspected criminals, weapons to foreign terrorist groups or the billions of pounds worth of drugs as currency to other countries and nobody on board to question it,

When I lived and worked in Saudi Arabia there was a tale going the rounds about the Saudi Prince who bought a Cadillac with one of the very first "Cruise Control" systems installed.
The roads across the desert are often arrow straight for many, many miles and as American cars tend to have a "toe-in" to the steering that keeps them running in a straight line without adjustment you can literally amble along for hours without ever really touching the steering wheel.
Imagine therefore the surprise of the Police when they discovered a crashed brand-new Cadillac out in the desert with just one person on board.
This was the Prince, who had crawled over into the back seat for a nap whilst his "Cruise Control" took over!
I'm sure it was an "Urban Myth" but then again .... :whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
