I mean, if the police try to stop the car for some reason and realize the driver ("responsible passenger"?) is not responding.

The solution will probably be some kind of override, but then you need to deal with unauthorized use of the override...

I wouldn't give the car a wireless override, because that's a massive fucking security hole and exactly how you get hackers remote controlling your car. The AI can just emulate human behaviour and pull over when there's flashing blue lights behind it.

Think about it: Someone falls asleep (or dies of a heart attack) in their car, how will the cops stop it (before it reaches its destination)?

Well, if somebody dies in a manual car, they'll either crash or just stop in the middle of the road, causing a hazard. If somebody's being an idiot or doing something illegal, then the cops start chasing them and they speed and go through neighborhoods and probably end up hitting peds/other cars/property.

I hardly see how "waiting for the car to stop" is worse than what we have now.

...Someone falling asleep in their car and the car continuing to drive on is working as intended IMHO.

Ye, whats the point of a car you dont drive if you have to pay attention to it the whole time, like you would when you werw driving

Huh, well that's useful.  Maybe if it's a shelter rescue it learned that from a previous family?

Nah, we got him when he was a pup, my mom taught him a lot of tricks, so I guess he just got good at figuring out keywords and such.
Though he's highly protective, especially against other dogs, if he's on the lead he's extremely defensive while off the lead he's rather friendly, and there's a machine we have that makes carbonated water, and since it makes this distinctive hissing sound he'll start barking at it whenever it's on.

Pretty sure current self driving cars can already be overridden in various ways*.  Maybe difficult for a single person to have all the tools nessesary, but a well funded police department should have the tools to remotely disable all the car's navigation systems if self driving cars got prevalent enough.

Additional coding for emergency lights probably isn't even necessary.  I think they are already programmed to pull off to the side of the road when an active emergency services vehicle is detected. (It's illegal to not pull out of the way in most places after all.)
If I understand correctly self driving cars will also slow to a stop if boxed in in front and all legal driving lanes.  It won't attempt to actively evade a slow controlled stop that the police already know how to perform, just with a self driving car it won't be trying to evade like an actual driver does.  Ideally there will be less reasons for the police to try to stop someone in a car anyway.

Girl friend just asked me for phone sex. Not sure what to do now. This is going to be awkward tomorrow.

time to lurk elsewhere

Just text 8===3 a bunch.

I've read more books in the last two weeks than the vast majority of people will read this year, and probably a fair number will ever read. I clocked my reading speed, and it came in at over 660WPM. This is mildly unnerving.

So... two

Whatever you do, do it safe. At the very least put a condom over your phone.

Use eggplants instead of cocks. You wouldn't want to confuse cocks with hens and accidentally text her hens instead, that could get embarrassing.

dude talk about her butt
