“but how would you know what the IP address was, grandad?”
“well, that’s the thing, it didn’t have one.”
“oh, so how would you update the firmware then?”
“it had none. it was just a tea kettle.”
“woah.”
Google's autonymous taxi company says it won't obey traffic safety laws because its customers want convenience, so screw those bicyclists who don't want to be injured or killed.
