I don't know if that's true or not, but a guy sucessfully sued a RV manufacturer because he put cruise control on and went back to make a cup of coffee in his brand new RV. Naturally the RV swerved off the highway and crashed. I guess he confused cruise control with auto pilot which though often seen in science fiction movies isn't something developed for civilian road vehicals(yet).
Also, someone fried their poodle in a microwave about 20 years ago. I think they lived in Long Island. Or maybe I was on the Island when I heard it.
