    “While our vehicle was stopped to pick up passengers, a nearby cat darted under our vehicle as it was pulling away,” a company spokesperson said.

    I’m not super keen on robo-cars, because they’re being rushed out by corporations that want to start raking in the money while using the public to beta test their platform. but let’s be honest here, if the car was driven by a human, they almost certainly would have run over that cat too.

      Mmmm. You’re taking “company spokesperson” at face value there.

      Let’s be real though, a meeting of highly paid, highly skilled people came up with that response then it was sanitised through three more filters before reaching our eyes.

        maybe, but I’m also thinking about myself here. if it were me, would I have noticed the cat?

        I don’t like admitting it, but the answer is almost certainly no, unless I happened to catch a glimpse of it in my mirror, which is what I would be looking at while pulling away from the curb. I think a robot-driven car should be able to watch all of its surroundings constantly, but I’m just a human and I can only watch one direction at a time.

        And for all that it doesn’t even make sense. Was the car stopped or was it pulling away?

          listen, it doesn’t matter how obsessed you are with me, I’m not going to sleep with you. I’m out of your league.

            Says the guy who is here to defend corporations again.

            The only league you are in is the bootlicker competition.

              the irony of a liberal calling anyone a bootlicker. since you love landlords so much, you should start charging me rent for all the space I take up in your mind.

                A bootlicking Anarchist!? You should be ashamed to be on that instance.

                Go defend some more corps simp.
