No Driver, No Ticket: The Wild World of Self-Driving Loopholes

Can a self-driving car get a ticket for breaking the law? That’s just one of the wild questions Bama Brown and Puma tackle in this unpredictable and hilarious episode of The Bama Brown Experience. From Thursday Night Football distractions to DUI double trouble, this episode is packed with sharp commentary, offbeat stories, and genuine moments that’ll keep you hooked from start to finish.Bama and Puma kick things off with a story about a woman arrested for her fourth DUI, only to be joined in jail by her drunk friend who came to pick her up. The duo compares it to the infamous Aggie arrest threads, where one college kid was too drunk to unlock his phone and call for help.But the real curveball? A Waymo self-driving car making an illegal U-turn in front of a cop—who couldn’t issue a ticket because there was no driver. Bama and Puma dig into the legal gray areas of autonomous vehicles and the growing presence of these cars in Austin and San Antonio.The episode wraps with a quirky list of “Five Ways to Fall Asleep Faster”, including blowing bubbles (yes, really), imagining nature, and wearing cozy socks—though Bama’s personal “number one” sleep method might not be safe for radio.If you love a mix of absurd news and real talk with a Texas twist, this episode is for you. Subscribe to The Bama Brown Experience wherever you get your podcasts, leave a review to let us know your favorite moment, and share this episode with a friend who needs a laugh—or a pair of cozy socks!
