"Then the wheel falls off while you’re driving, or the autopilot plows into a jersey wall, and you’re meant to be thrilled.* Glad even. Grateful! This is proof: You were an early adopter.

In a hundred years this car’s descendants might be as reliable as cars that by then will be 150 years old, and you will have played a part in making it so. Won’t that be nice.

*Assuming you lived through it."

Damn, what a weird coincidence.

But didn’t he specifically tell them they should just drop their suit and leave him alone? How rude of them.
