This movie with a robot car would be quite different... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlcX_GXtf40 But a getaway car that obeys traffic laws, that's not gangster at all.

Also crazy to me: how some people can't bother to capitalize names or use punctuation. Considering the book's title is almost identical to Bjarne Stroustrup's book, it smells like an attempt to profit by confusing buyers.

God, what an odd first paragraph... wow, how did this collection of computers, most of which are probably from 1950s onwards, survive Allied bombing of the 1940s? Then again, it's from 2006, which probably explains the style of writing

Advice: You really should look up how the engineers designed the gear lever, before voicing more of your ignorant "knowledge". Edit: Oh you're talking about the parking brake, not the gear lever. Smells of victim-blaming.

At the risk of sounding like a cryptobro ("What about using a blockchain?"), did you ever try testing LLMs to see if they'd be able to diagnose it correctly? (I'm guessing you did the research before LLMs)
