Talking Cars May Come to USA in 2017: Will They Stutter?
“Look at me! I can talk!”
Very soon we may hear cars talk to each other. I already imagine what some cars will say to each other: “Get off the road you moron!” That would remind me of my wonderful family.
Reuters has reported that “U.S. regulators are crafting a rule that would require all new vehicles to be able to ‘talk’ to one another using wireless technology”. They say it would reduce the number of accidents. I say it would reduce the number of times the people yell at each other.
This technology is supposed to be put in place in early 2017. That’s the time when Obama will still be in office, so he could follow in Al Gore’s footsteps and claim he invented the first talking car. That’s of course a joke. Al Gore never claimed he invented the Internet. He just said that “During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet.” So Obama would probably say something like: “During my years as a president, I took the initiative in creating a malfunctioning website and even more malfunctioning stuttering car.”
How exactly will they talk though? Will they be able to speak only English? Will they be able to scream at each other? And finally, will they be able to engage in sweet-talk?
If so, they may be able to hit on each other. Think this is funny? I don’t think so. Some big cars are probably horny. So if some cute little car comes their way – Mini, for example – they may want to get some action and will start hitting on it. What would happen next? A Collision.
When “a public comment period” begins, I will submit this to the Department of Transportation. I will further add: “if cars can talk, they can also reproduce. Therefore, how can you avoid collisions?”
Roman Marshanski is the founder of Humoropedia.com and former Hollywood actor. You can Google his name to see the list of his movies (or you can click on his name above this box to visit his personal website). He wrote thousands of pages of fiction. Some of that fictional writing is screenplays and a lot of it is comedic writing. So he completed two feature film screenplays and many shorter literary works, some of which are comedy. He did most of that writing during his film career as a Hollywood actor. He was the lead actor in Rebecca Cremona's Magdalena. Rebecca Cremona was Steven Spielberg's protege on Munich. So he has a deep understanding of the creative process and can be considered an authority on all things related to humor. Indeed, his screenplays contain a lot of humor. That's where his love for jokes started. Eventually, this love of jokes led Roman to the creation of Humoropedia.com, the wonderful home of funny jokes and witty puns. He thinks humor is something very good. If you also think so, please follow him on X now because he has a sense of humor.
