I've been amusing myself thinking of various ways to trap those obnoxious google cars- without being photographed doing it, and mount the car on concrete blocks.

In Alaska it would be easy to just lob some peanut butter and chicken livers on it and let the grizzlies take care of them, but here, there's just gators and vegetarian black bears so I guess it's just a matter of getting one to drive into a sink hole.

I've also wondered what a google car would do if I surrounded it with a circle of sheets and let it suck its battery dry doing 360s looking for an opening.

I like the way you think!

Google autonomous cars = early Skynet? Seems not unlikely.
