That's really funny I was thinking of buying this last year.Already, you can get the full driving experience in the comfort of your living room without much risk of getting mangled in an accident - even better with a VR headset. Have you tried one?

Only if it was pre-robotic murderLuckily, I dont have to work and if I choose my time wisely the roads around the dales can be relativily quite so we can still go for a drive without all the hassle that comes with a congested transport system, and my life expectancy is such that it will most likely not change much for me.
But,
The real point of the video is at the end if you watched that far, where Sophie has been giver Robot Citizenship which I find interesting and highly amusing, but have to wonder, if Flecc excersided his hammer remedy would he be locked up for murder?

Since I'm never going to be seen in a McDonalds these days I didn't know they had such things. Hopefully their imitation of food will be better than the staff's version.
Many years ago when working with errant kids on a Home Office/Police befriending scheme, the kids brainwashed attachment to McDonalds meant me being persuaded to sample their wares. That was more than enough for life.
.
You should have many years ago because you do not want to sample their wares at this present time.
Sony selling "re-released Aibo off the leash" in Japan. But its 'AI' comes from leased internet link to Sony's servers. So it is on a web leash, like all this Internet Of Things stuff. And it will eavesdr.., sorry, 'listen' to owners conversation, to 'collect data'. Oh dear :-(

Could be a good Xmas present to send to your local terrorist or paedo.
If it hasn't been or isn't already done, it wouldn't take much to add that feature to a mobile phone. Have you ever wondered why your battery was going down a lot quicker than you thought it should?
I think this could be true of all connected internet of things kit. We are just so many sheep blindly fumbling through life with no idea of what is going on in a cyber world that is more invasive than we can imagine.. And I can imagine plenty..

It's not that tho is it. If half I read is true then you can be used without your consent or knowledge. Bitcoin mining for example. I tend to think the same as you .. I can't even be trolled cos I don't care what people say about me.
no idea but that led controller i have works with it tho and you set it up to run through the wifi router so you can use alexa voice command.

I honestly dont understand the why!! .. I have 2 smart bulbs upstairs connected to my Hive heating and I use them to randomly switch on and off when we are away which is useful. They can be set to automatically turn on when I walk into a room like a windowless closet perhaps.. Could be useful! They can also be turned on and off remotely with a phone or an alexa type device, but to do this they have to be permanently turned on at the wall switch and if you manually switch off when leaving a room then it wont work remotely any more, so what is the use here?
Absolutely of no use whatsoever!
Can Alexa turn the tv on and off, or change channels? Could it find my keys for me? Dont think so but could be wrong!
I admit to being a gadget geek, but even I cant see a use for Alexa..

it can turn on a tv via a power socket same as a light or anything else but as for changing channel ect it is not quit there yet tho in the future everything will be smart enabled with wifi built in to even the kettle.
i have a app on my phone to change the tv settings Samsung smart view but as i use it as a pc monitor dont even use that.

So, to have a connected home we need to get the house clearance people in and start again from scratch? Yea, good luck with that Alexa.
