As is so often the case, dear Readers, you heard it here first.

    Whew! Good thing I always keep a nice new pickup truck instead of a car. No mention was made of driverless pickups. We as a subset of drivers should be left alone to run over whom we need to.

    Hmmm. I wonder how Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics would handle the scenario presented.

    So long as Microsoft doesn’t get into the driverless car bidness and set the OS to permanently enable automatic Windows Update, we should be alright.
