"Pinned" ping.

Why can't people just stay in their lanes?

Looks like the 'self-driving' feature still needs some work.

Isn't the idea for it to be able to get out of trouble faster than it got into it?

Chantell is in a league of her own. At least she could say that she'd been there, done that, and got the bowling shirt.
