    Grandma scrubbed them with the lye soap,
    And they haven't heard a word in years"

    It's in the book



    And..yes I have also heard things about some of those cussin' marriages.
    First cussin'
    Second cussin"

        Thanks for that!

        I needed a bit of morning cheer.

                When I was in Austin one of those got confused, took a guy to the airport and then went into some weird loop as it was where it shouldn't be and wouldn't stop and let passenger out because it's software said it wasn't safe....
                Eventually Waymo shut it down & opened the doors remotely & let the guy out. I'm sure stuff like that is going to happen. Even my iphone crashes once in a while...

                  Two of those Waymos hit each other at Sky Harbor this year. Last year, one of them smashed head-on into a telephone pole.

                    This case shows self-driving tech still has a long way to go. Tesla’s system isn’t fully autonomous, it needs the driver’s attention. Accidents like this highlight the risks and why drivers can’t rely on it completely yet. Liability is complicated, but safety has to come first. Hopefully, this helps improve the tech and how people use it.​
