The autonomous mode I'm going to remember for the rest of my life would have to be the first time we tried ours out at a drive practice session. Apparently, the programmers didn't think to set the speed lower than they thought it should be the first time and work up; they set it at full. We turned it on, and the next thing we knew it was zooming across the field. It nearly decapitated our driver, scared the living daylights out of a few grandparents and younger sibs on the sidelines, and pretty much pinned a mentor to the wall.

The moral of the story: too slow is better than too fast in the case of autonomous testing.
