dandy brave new world
Cattle cars won't be necessary. It just locks you in and off you go.
Doesn't appear to have cup holders or window openers. So how is a gang gonna do drive-by shootings? Brave new world, with less fun.
What can go wrong? Humans usually don’t malfunction.
The syytem has encountered a problem and has shut down to prevent damage to the computerKinda brings a whole new meaning to "blue screen of death"...
“The all-electric minivan does not feature manual controls such as pedals or a steering wheel.”

What happens when it skids on fresh feces in the streets and gets in an accident? Who will the injured passenger sue?
Sounds like a good plan for Amazon deliveries...and that’s about it, as far as I’m concerned.
Judging by the ads google throws at me, the VA is also selling our records. Info that they couldn’t get from my browsing.
I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that.
