On: Grumpy Locals Are Sabotaging Cruise and Waymo Robotaxis with Traffic Cones

[LightBug1]

I'm looking forward to the first full-on high speed police pursuit of an autonomous Waymo through downtown San Francisco ... (== turing complete).

missed opportunity for "touring complete"

This sounds like a great premise for a video game not unlike Crazy Taxi, but from the perspective of a highway trooper who needs to chase buggy autonomous cabs.

This was more or less a series of side quests in Cyberpunk.

including the passenger trying to cancel the fare and the car saying "I'm sorry Dave I can't allow you to do that"

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" is the actual quote from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

I also love the scene where Dave takes Hal apart. We've always called the first computation the Macaulay computer algebra system completed "Hal's Song".

Kitbashing HAL 9000 and Star Wolf?

>I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

>Can't let you do that, Star Fox!"

Screw it, lets throw in the Car Fax fox as a state trooper, and I'm pretty sure we have a reasonable starting point for a video game worldbuild.

Call it Car Fox.
