Musk is smiling

[Repeal The 17th]

Did they try turning them off and turning them back on?

[cockroach_magoo]

Unbelievable. They’ve already unionized.

[skr]

Motorized lemmings, a rather frightening thought.

[Dr. Sivana]

A flock? They don’t fly. More likely a “herd”.

[BenLurkin]

We are living in a post-literate society.

Sounds like a future headline from the novel Stand On Zanzibar, written by John Brunner and published in 1968.

[Tennessee Nana]

LOL

I thought those kinds of potential problems had been worked out over 10 years ago. It’s still happening?

Self-Driving Cars Just Plain Stop Working, Block Gough Street

from sfgate:

"Gough: Probably one of the more unforgivable San Francisco mispronunciations is calling Gough Street 'go' street."

[Fido969]

They “had an issue”.

[Persevero]

Gough Street is a major thoroughfare and a freeway onramp. This had a large impact.

[BenLurkin]

Perhaps “mistakes were made.”

[ProtectOurFreedom]

“Sorry, Dave. I can’t unblock the street.”

[TigersEye]

Since self-driving cars automatically stop for obstructions it seems to me that it would be easy to completely halt traffic if there were enough of them on the road.

What’s the computer going to do, get out and throw the cardboard boxes to the side of the road?

[dragnet2]

These leftist corporations are using people on the public streets and highways as guinea pigs for their profits.

If ya get injured by one, sue the city, county, state et al..

[C210N]

Maybe not a flock, and not even a herd.

A gaggle (geese)... or a murder (crows).

Better think “squadron”.
