Even the speed achieved by a 1 g acceleration on a trip to Jupiter would 
far exceed solar escape velocity, and would be enough to get to the 
nearest star in a thousand years. If the galaxy were teeming with 
civilisations using such a technology for in-system travel, there would 
inevitably be accidents that lead to derelict craft with dead crew and 
passengers heading out into interstellar space. One might speculate on 
how long it would be before we spotted one crossing the solar system.
