I went to see Dave Gorman live a few weeks ago. He was more than good-ish. If you don't know him, he presents a series on the Dave Channel called "Modern Life is Good-ish". Part of this involves him performing seomething called a Found Poem which is where he takes comments made by idiots on the Internet at the bottom of news stories and turns them into something very funny.
Here is his found poem about the beef-being-substituted-by-horse-meat scandal from earlier this year.
He also produced a very fine poem about Google's driverless cars - although the funniest line in it wasn't made by an idiot - it was made by a genius (which is incidentally the name of another show Dave Gorman did)
That line was:
"Why does it have wing-mirrors?"
Well, it looks like that question has now been answered along with my main worry from July when I looked at driverless cars.
The answers appear in this article from caradvice.co.au
The article states that:
The long-awaited Google self-driving car has been uncovered with the technology company claiming it is “the best holiday gift we could’ve imagined”.
No it isn't. It now has legal requirements such as those mirrors and working lights and safety features that the lack of concerned me - such as a steering wheel and controls.
It provides more Found Poem fodder...
...and it still looks stupid.
