can you get an dui in one / who (under the law) is deemed in control?

This hasn't been tested yet legally.

However, if operator guidance is needed (autodrive levels 1, 2, and 3, driver must remain engaged), then you are operating the vehicle and can be charged.

For levels 4 and 5, if you're behind the wheel and could turn off the autodrive features, legal opinion is that you can still be charged (you're effectively in control).

If you're not in the driver's seat and the car is level 4 and 5 (and autodriving), then there's a strong legal argument that you're not operating the vehicle and can't be charged.

(And note that if you're autodriving, there should be no reason for the cop to pull you over in the first place.)

IANAL, this is just something I researched awhile ago.

Regardless of the speed of the warming and cooling of the Earth if human civilization is to expect to survive and thrive on Earth then we will need to consider adaptations to these changes in climate.

This statement shows just one thing: You have no clue. We are currently moving into the area where human civilization becomes less and less likely to survive. And do you see any decisive action? I do not. Instead a lot of lying and a deep desire for short-term profits are what is happening.

Pagers that were enrolled into legitimate networks and are specifically designed to receive signals from anyone. That is a bit different to what is described here.

Without a SIM card, these "hidden radios" cannot get called or contacted except by the local network operators. "China" can certainly not do it.
