And if you kill a CEO is terrorism

It could be hard to explain why he had to drive it up on the sidewalk and squeeze between the curb-parked cars and the building on accident. And also why it was covered in silencers.

You don't need silencers, just a prius or similar.

Actually a tesla could be good for this: just need to figure out a way to trick the self driving into thinking the sidewalk is a car lane, and the CEO is a small child. /s

Why did you add /s, that would work

Not sure but I think I remember hearing somewhere that allegedly the video where the tesla ran over the inflatable child might have been faked.

But even then the various self driving car cos have killed several people in san Francisco.

My friend's mom got run over recently. The guy had the alcohol percentage that indicated he'd don't at least ten shots of hard liquor in an hour and he was going well over the speed limit. He got her so hard it crumpled the front of his truck.

But in Cali, since it's a first time offence, he's getting like, a thousand dollar fine. The cremation is going to cost more.

What the fuck?

Innocent until proven guilty.

Luigi didn't kill that CEO as far as we know, and titles like this don't help an innocent man.
