   Presumably all you have to do to make a self-driving truck stop is stand in front of it. There should be zero risk of it running you over.

    There've been a few failed attempts at college-exclusive random chat (e.g., RandomDorm), but I've been thinking about trying it on Omegle for a while, in case the existing userbase would make it work better. Your comment got me of
