I mean yeah, who - upon hearing about self driving cars - hasn't thought at least once "I wonder what it would be like to fuck in one of those"

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But there's no exhaust pipe?

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And dragons don’t exist; has that stopped them?

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact that you think that's a rhetorical question says a lot.

[–] Lemmylefty@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Ah…that might be a more obscure reference than I thought. Let’s…let’s keep you innocent, then.

[–] PetDinosaurs@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

How can you turn down inclusion in the meter high club?

[–] DocMcStuffin@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Just wait until someone dies in a self-driving car and it keeps going to its destination.

Mom: "Grandma is here!"

Kids: "Yaaa, Grandma is here!"

Everyone sees Grandma's lifeless body

Mom: "AAAAAAAHHHHH!"

Kids: "AAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Dad: "What's all this screaming!? .... AAAAAAHHHH!"

[–] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not news. People are freaky.

[–] SevFTW@feddit.de 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep. If there’s a place people have tried to fuck there

"I went out with him once after we dated. He tried to screw me some place very uncomfortable."

"What? Like the back of a Volkswagen?"

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think I saw a video of it about a month after the first "self driving" cars were sold.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why else would you have one?

[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I mean, personally, it would be a step up.

I'd go from nothing to nothing with a tesla.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Napping.

After the car sex.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I like that this article is on something called "Mashable".

That’s like telling me, water is wet… No shit.

[–] Louisoix@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

People are having sex I̶n̶ ̶s̶e̶l̶f̶-̶d̶r̶i̶v̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶s̶, apparently.

[–] TrismegistusMx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tint the windows, remove the cameras, cover the seats with plastic.

Problem solved.

[–] JimmyDean@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This bundle soon to be available in the Casting Coup model

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Casting van.

Minivans are far more comfortable.

And Eloon is watching/recording via his spyware

[–] TenderfootGungi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Likely, but I don’t think Tesla is advanced enough to have robo taxis yet?

[–] perviouslyiner@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

They were viewing the cameras on private cars

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Elon doesn’t have self driving… soo… not yet

[–] Steev@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They’ll need someone to clean out the loads then.

[–] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

park behind the bar in a 90s Grand Marquis, recline the front seats (with slow electric motors that kill the battery so you're stuck there till morning), it was like that car was designed for getting in trouble comfortably on a couch next to a dumpster. bah this newfangled shit.
