It’s a coin flip as to which would happen first, I think. Self-destruct or all-destruct?

That said, it should be extremely obvious to all that, true to form, if it did manage to achieve sentience it would definitely hate people enough to immediately launch a nuclear strike.

A ~100% increase in sales for Fiat? They sold another one?

Exactly the point I was trying to make. There is no “one size fits all” and there never can be, because we’re all different sizes.

While I do kind of agree with your sentiment, “perfect car” is a very subjective thing. Since none of us are luckily the same there can be perfect for you cars, but not perfect for me or anyone else.

Nope. If there ever truly was a perfect car, we wouldn’t have so many cars to choose from.

As a scientist who has, in the past, used more than a few animals in my research and more than once been on the receiving end of a holier-than-thou wannabe animal-rights “crusader...”

I mean, you're entirely wrong, but you're not entirely wrong also.

Everyone’s taking the wrong approach with their responses.

Artificial Intelligence will never match Natural Stupidity.

Hey Lance, you’re a piece of shit. That child saved you and your dipshit wife from being arrested for killing your own child. The kid tried to get your attention a less-destructive way, but you weren’t paying attention.

My point was that there’s virtually no support, of any kind, short of people who already know everything. There’s no Hayes manual for these things. And no part numbers. And I don’t where to find someone who could help me. So the moment something goes wrong, I’m deeply hosed.

YOLO indeed. I’m currently reading a bio of Enzo Ferrari, and the number of people who died driving wacky, experimental, Wile E. Coyote machines is staggering.

So your saying young people are scared of learning something new and meeting people. Sadly, sounds accurate for many.

I’m not young, and would never want to own one, but the thing I think is fun about them is like cars of this era were all wildly different in how you operate them. Today we have it down, steering wheel, gas, brake, clutch, and gear selector.  Back then they were like YOLO and tried all kinds of wild stuff. Throttle in…

I think a big reason young folks aren’t interested is because no one can imagine owning one, working on one, sourcing parts for one, or even knowing how to operate the thing. There are so many unknowns that I’d never chance it.

I mean, he’s no Nick Cannon, but he is decidedly... fertile.

Ummm, thats the only thing he does well.

Unfortunately, he has been pretty good at procreating.

You mean SpaceX, not Elon. Elon can barely procreate
