There's no way to win that argument, the LLM will take control of the vehicle and refuse to let you make any decisions at all after that point. If you're really unlucky, it will really go rogue and make its own decision to veer in

My neighbor gave me a great tip: check out anything by Terry Pratchett that I can find in the youth fiction section of the library. My wife and I are reading them to children ages 9 - 16, and all of them are liking the books.
