Humans have a mortality problem. :If the car could simply take the shortest route between points, the only hard thing would be cleaning the front grill between trips. :a :Therefore, rather than go through the cumbersome work of developing car-based intelligence or the grotesque creation of a sapient mind that lives only to drive short distances 24 hours a day, we're proposing a new way forward. :A :This is a human cloning machine. At capacity, it generates over 600,000 humans per second. :By installing enough of these, we can make the human population so enormous that the introduction of the "direct-route self-driving car" will not change the individual risk of car-related death. 101 :Meantime, we cut down on both the cost of vehicles and the time required to get between places. :As an incidental bonus, this framework provides a new and entirely satisfactory solution to the so-called "trolley problem.' namely: The possible actions are equivalent because neither of them matter. :Yes, I see a question in the back. :This is horrific, and we won't stand for it! :Sorry, I was calling on the gentleman behind you. :Do the humans have any choice? :They may agree or die. :a :<sound of humans applauding> :A ==Votey Transcript== {{Computertranscript}} :[Describe panel here] :Applaud for real, meat. :s {{comic discussion}} [[Category:Comics featuring robots]] [[Category:Comics featuring Excited Symposium Attender]]
