| Autonomous Car Intercommunication | ||
| Automatic cars talk to each other about everything. |
| My cars talk to one another. I have no doubt about it anymore. It's as though they've gained confidence; as though they're not bothering to keep it secret anymore. Their engines rattle and knock continuously. And they don't talk among themselves only. They talk to the cars and buses that come into the Farm on business. How long have they been doing that? |
