Anyone want to borrow a sense of humor? :nana:

And everybody loves my avatar, thanks.

Yeah I have to agree, I don't think it's so much Google's AI is the problem, it's all the other road ragers and weirdos that will cause problems.
You gotta know, there will be a lot of people that would have a grand old time running those driveless cars off the road for the hell of it.

I'm just a 62 year-old guy that loves his pipe and tobacco. But, I do try to relate to the abstract! Nice video.
