[Nfbc-info] driverless car

Sat Dec 12 22:15:46 UTC 2015

I have a question. My brother Joe and I had t his conversation last night. He had to pick up his son from school after a wrestling tournament. He didn't want him calling him while he was in the middle of cooking dinner because of course he would have to go get him, end it impossible for a person to be at in two places at the same time I said eventually I can go get him because there is the whole idea and topic of the autonomist car
