Next thing you know they'll be cursing at you using speakers

I'm looking forward to the first full-on high speed police pursuit of an autonomous Waymo through downtown San Francisco ... (== turing complete).

missed opportunity for "touring complete"

This sounds like a great premise for a video game not unlike Crazy Taxi, but from the perspective of a highway trooper who needs to chase buggy autonomous cabs.

This was more or less a series of side quests in Cyberpunk.

Alan Touring: Full Self-Racing

including the passenger trying to cancel the fare and the car saying "I'm sorry Dave I can't allow you to do that"

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that" is the actual quote from 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

I also love the scene where Dave takes Hal apart. We've always called the first computation the Macaulay computer algebra system completed "Hal's Song".

Kitbashing HAL 9000 and Star Wolf?

>I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

>Can't let you do that, Star Fox!"

Screw it, lets throw in the Car Fax fox as a state trooper, and I'm pretty sure we have a reasonable starting point for a video game worldbuild.

Call it Car Fox.

or maybe a Johnny Cab from Total Recall..

I use the "things hardly ever..." quote daily

Complete with Tesla Cybertrucks from the 1980s.

Do we know when Delamain gets created ?

"YOU SON OF A BITCH, LEARN HOW TO DR-- Sorry, that's on me, let's try a different topic."

At least when a human is irrationally angry at the fact that I don't have a legal place to drive they just honk and I know to be on the lookout for road rage and other shenanigans. If a car trained on that data is likely to behave absurdly then I can't protect myself _unless_ it has the loudspeaker function to prepare me for its misdeads.

plenty of material available for them already:
