Yep, like I said: "stupid cars." According to these reports, no mention is made of the drivers' having done anything wrong. I know it's a common semantic usage, but it's still wrong, and avoids blaming the drivers. But why beat this to death? Journalists' misuse of the English language is a common source of humor at my house and among my friends. The worst, of course, are the sports announcers (with the exception of Michael Kay and a few others) who mangle the language unmercifully with their malapropisms.
