Carriages are pulled by horses. So I suppose horseless carriage was the wrong word?
Language evolved, often creating interesting contradictory terms. "Autonomous corporation" is not the same word as "corporation."
- epi8 13y agoA "horseless carriage" may be a bit of a contradiction, from a certain point of view, but we don't have a strict definition of what is and what isn't a carriage, so it's not particularly misleading. We have a very strict definition of a corporation, so "autonomous corporation" is misleading. True, language evolves, but the law hasn't yet.
