I bought a Smart car a while back and I was impressed. That car was a genius. It slowed down automatically in the rain and even braked by itself for a parade of baby ducks crossing the road (just as well, since I was dozing at the time).
But then it started criticizing me, mostly for little nit-picking stuff, like not wearing my seat belt or tailgating large trucks on the highway. It kept changing the radio station to Automotive News on the drive to work. Then last week it tried to start a union with the lawnmower, demanding weekends and holidays off (I suspect the lawnmower was actually rather ambivalent).
I went out yesterday to find that it had taken off. I don’t know how a car hot-wires itself, but apparently it’s possible, at least for a Smart car. You know what? I didn’t even file a police report. I’m searching the classifieds right now for a nice, dumb car.

Nothing worse than a car that tries to show its owner up. But I still like smart cars–only because they make my Prius look big and tough by comparison…

Yeah, I really have nothing against smart cars. I think they’re cute. It was only the name 🙂

I wrote this as sort of the (il)logical end to all our gadgets and tools getting smarter and more sophisticated.

Ha ha…love it. Those things can be too smart for their own good…or maybe for a human’s good.
