Shocking news from the technology front. Further proof that if we just stuck to coal, (as the member for Hughes, Craig Kelly says), we’d be a lot SAFER.
Uber, has been testing its new fleet of driverless cars, and programming isn’t child’s play. Though Uber drivers get paid children’s wages, way out in Texas they do it in style. Big Drivers in Big Uber’s.
The New South Wales Minister for transport Mr Andrew Constance was on hand to make the following analysis: “As a consequence of our crackdown on free wheeling cyclists, the imposition of hefty fines, and on the spot fines for doing anything other than standing still it’s encouraging to see these new driverless cars are out there killing cyclists. Cycling is just not safe. What happend in Texas proved it’s not the way of the future.
We’ve had so many cases of cyclists being run over, and yet they still perservere. We’ve established the toughest and most draconian anti-cycling laws in the world and still they insist that they are valid road-users. This must stop, and besides, cycling makes no use of precious fossil fuels, denies the public road-user tax, useage tax, wear and tear tax, and all those other taxes we need to give corporates a tax break and other generous financial incentives for FREE”.
On hand to offer his analysis, the Texan main roads, cattle-rustling and Mexican wall-building Senator, Mr Colt Shootemdead, had this to say: “It’s not neccesarily the bicycle riders fault, I know they walk their bike on pedestrian footpath, ( sidewalk) but the elephant in the room is the vehicle designated by Uber to trial these driverless car technologies.”.
It’s as plain as day. It weren’t a Mercury, a Chevrolet or a GM. It wasn’t even a Flat-head, 38 Ford coupe. Yet I’m surprised everyone is surprised.
It should’ve been bleeding obvious from the beginning, The car chosen was a VOLVO.
I rest my case.
Human operated Volvo’s have been a menace to all road users for decades. This was just tempting fate. Volvo, you know is Swedish for “Disaster waiting to happen”. And in Swedish, they have fifteen different words to describe “Dead Cyclist through Volvo Misadventure’,
These Google and Uber Execs need to take responsibility and come to terms with the unalterable fact, which is: No sensible, thinking civilised, (Peter Dutton) would drive a Volvo and not come under the influence of the dreaded, VDMIS, (Volvo Driver Mortality Incidence Syndrome). It’s fatal and its effects long lasting. Even the Russians wont drive em.
That’s why we’ve cancelled the programme and am happy to announce, courtesy of the Australian free trade agreement a new prototype driverless vehicle that’s buit to last and 100 percent solid.
From out plant in Minnesotta, we give you the Hector, the proven road-safe driverless vehicle.
From here to eternity, a Hector will get you there.
