Curious reaction to Full Self Driving

At a recent meeting, I shared that Full Self Driving handled a 1,700 mi trip to Starbase and two, 400 mi trips to Atlanta nearly perfectly. I was trying to point out this recent technology doesn't enable drinking and driving but makes it less dangerous to the driver and others on the road. Then came these comments:

• "I don't need a car that picks me up and puts me in bed."
• "Not appropriate subject."

I felt like Johnathan Livingston Seagull getting push back from the flock. I was hoping for some interest, at least curiosity. Well lessons learned.

I joined that fellowship to learn and share techniques. I also offered that I'd given my two year medallion as thanks to my minister, the postmaster for my letters to God. I explained that I don't need 'things' as the lessons learned are written in my heart. . . . <CRICKETS>

Between banishment by the flock and lessons learned, Johnathon accepted his exile. Although he missed the flock, he was now free to satisfy his curiosity.

Guess I won't be going back. Lessons learned and where I'm going, they don't want to know.
