The vehicle can control itself. It equally would be stupid to get a DUI for taking a Waymo home from the bar. Your punishment for that should just be for taking a Waymo, not a DUI.
A drunk passenger is not controlling the vehicle, thus not meeting the ‘D’ requirement of a DUI. A horse rider does indeed control the horse, even if the horse isn’t actively receiving driving instructions from the controller.
I am still shocked and confused finding out you can still get a DUI if you’re drunk on a horse. That’s bullshit, man. The horse ain’t drunk!
Where I live, you can get a DUI and lose your driver’s license if using a bicycle drunk.
Not that I agree with it. Not that I’ve ever seen it enforced. But the law is there.
Also it should probably be called RUI
The car isn’t drunk either. The DUI doesn’t belong to the vehicle, but the controller of the vehicle.
