D’oh!

(NBC Washington) – A driverless car was supposed to take the streets of D.C. Tuesday, but it didn’t get a chance to hit the road.

D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton hit the kill switch on the car before she was supposed to take a ride, and they couldn’t get it running again.

The GM SUV developed by Carnegie Mellon University is outfitted with computer technology that allows the driver to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Norton, a ranking member of the Highways and Transit Subcommittee of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, thinks cars like it could have a future as long as they have safety features, like the button she pushed.
