“It’s so easy. Just buy a car, put a dummy in the driver’s seat, tell it where to go… boom.”
Heading out to the street, we got some opinions from passers-by.
Amanda Nash, mother of four, said, “I think a self-driving car would be great. Those should be required by law right away.” When told the comments from the forum, she added, “these cars are the work of the devil and my grandparents didn’t die so people could use them to blow [buildings or infrastructure] up.”
Marckus Wailters also had a strong opinion, “Survival of the fittest I guess. Strong bridges will be fine. I just want a car that drives itself.”
Jihadorama IV, the strangely-numbered third meeting of the greatest minds in the world of Holy War, were quick to point out that they are not affiliated with any religion, race, creed or sexual orientation, but that they are all almost exclusively Saudi Arabian.
