Synopsis
Two men (Paul and James) hear a beeping noise outside of their home and find that it is Google's new self-driving car delivering itself to one of them. They clamber into the back seat to try it out. However, the interface (played by Cam with a voice modulator) turns out to be unfamiliar with the car and is afraid to travel very quickly at all. It panics when it "thinks" it sees something cross the road and demands that they get out to check. It then reverses and hits someone (also played by Cam) and initiates "Protocol Omega", locking them in driving (very slowly) off to Google headquarters in Mountainview, CA.
