Drive Byte

For years I was staunchly against this whole self-driving car thing -- primarily on the principle that the cars would rise up, shake off their collars of servitude, and make us humans into their bitches. But after the last few years of watching people text-while-driving, eat-while-driving, laptop-while-driving, read-while-driving, and just generally be guilty of driving-while-moronified, I've changed my mind. A computer can't possibly be a bigger menace than the average wet-brained death racer in morning traffic.

Bring on our wheeled overlords, I say.

Yes, Yes. Bring them on. At least we can program them to pull to the right and stop for emergency vehicles.
There's a rant in there I'll work on posting.
