Brave New Automobile

 

Don’t do that, Dave.
Stuff it Siri!
I’m not Siri, Dave. I’m officer Trundle using Siri’s voice to facilitate communications, and now that I have your attention, I need you to pull over.
Why?
You’re tailgating for openers.
Where are you?
Bangalore.
Isn’t it tomorrow there?
You have been selected for a pull over. Now pull over or I’ll do it for you, and add failure to pull over to your citation.
I’m pulling over.... but you know that don’t you?
So, I’m looking at tailgating, speeding of course, illegal lane change, driving impaired, and failure to pull over.
I pulled over.
I’ll strike it.
Know what I think? I think you’re Siri, messing with me.
I’m not Siri, Dave.
How do I know that?
I control the car. [The engine, which had been idling, dies.]
Dave opens the center console and removes a black box. The box has dials, meters, and antennae. The box is labeled
Acme Scrambler.
Don’t do that, Dave....
