Crash: Autodrive

Crash: Autodrive is a narrative adventure set in a near-future city where self-driving Autocabs rule the streets. Emily Knight, a young woman from a small town trying to make it in the big city, gets into an Autocab with four strangers. The car impossibly hits a cyclist, and when the passengers get out, they discover they all knew the victim, Thomas Sinclair, and each has a motive for murder. Even the car’s artificial intelligence is a suspect.
