Steering a wonderfullv straight course, the driverless vehicle charged through a six-wire fence, severing two strands and breaking a post. Continuing,_ it forced its way into a small plantation at the foot 'of the slope, narrowly missing two large pine trees. The onlv damage, apart from that incurred hv the fence, was a slight tear in the hood of the car.
