    Some day, if it hasn’t happened already, we’re going to have a situation where a driverless car is driving around a dead body. Eventually I think the technology will get to a point where a self-driving, electric car will be able to drive itself to a charging station, initiate the recharge, and drive off afterwards. At that point we’ll have “ghost cars” that are perpetually driving around the country on some weird repeating loop where it’s just endlessly driving around with a rotting corpse inside.

    If you think this is anything new you should look up who coincidentally invented the autopilot for airplanes and the mile high club.

    The thought of minding my own business on a street corner, looking up, and seeing a taxi with some people clapping cheeks rolling by me is a big source of amusement for me today

    Soon you will just jump in and ask for lovers lane and the car will take you on a nice long scenic route.

    As a former taxi driver in nyc I can assure you that a driver is in no way an obstacle to people fucking in taxis.
