Those darn โ€œself-drivingโ€ cars strike again, no pun intended.

In a recent Texas incident a car โ€œdrivenโ€ by a computer ran over and killed a mother duck.

There was even a human behind the wheel at the time but the car was being โ€œdrivenโ€ by its autonomous, self-governing computer.

โ€œWhile humans are responsible for killing animals with their cars all the time, this incident has brought negative attention to the new technology,โ€ reports TechCrunch.com.

If Karen Whiner had been driving she could have swerved her car , hit a school bus , and critically injured nine children .
Itโ€™s a duck .
