from Hank Watson's Garage Hour - Cars, Trucks, Beers & Guns · host Hank Watson's Garage Hour

Tech... is still not on your side - from the Garage Hour to God's ears.  Gearheads and geeks are here to help, though, reporting on the disturbing increase in incidents the are either blamed on artificial idiocy or the result of it.  From thousands of robot cars ala Waymo and friends with "software issues" that cause them to hit construction zones at freeway speed (and hit semis, and hit SWAT standoffs, and hit your neighborhood like a swarm of locusts), to flying Teslas that hit your grandma's house doing 70mph.  ...Mayyyyybe there's a little too much permission and a lot too much of tech companies beta testing their poorly guided cruise missiles on the same street your kids are throwing the frisbee on (poorly, I might add - tell them to use more wrist). Join us in being wayyy more worried about these stupid-intelligent amoral arguments against progress - nobody wants an omelette when the eggs they break are you. ...And when your accident may be intentional, we've got a shout out for the crowd at Cove Creek this PPIHC just past, a look at what a good marine does when some local crooks try to steal his truck, and a metric crapton of killer doom-blues from Snail.
