i look forward to the days of autonomous cars, when parents lacking a babysitter can simply lock the kids in the car and send it on a 6 hour drive so they can get some peace and loving quiet from their screaming spawn and then just decide at the last minute to re-route it from their smartphone so they can sleep off the two bottles of wine that mommy just day-drank because daddy ran off to the fetish club to get triple-fisted in the rear end in a top hat

that shits gonna change my life.

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.

i'm the guy in the car riding home from the office on a now 3-hour commute because another Atlanta area infrastructure disaster has occurred, waffling between screaming in anguish, crying out of genuine fear for my health and well-being, and trailblazing new ground in the land of DWI court rulings because honestly what is worth doing with my life beyond drinking heavily and pwning the gently caress out of judges by their own logic.

tbh, most autonomous cars will likely run on linux.

cuz they won't have drivers.
