Powder Keg Alert: Waymo Invades NYC (Sort Of)

Alright you bunch of city slickers! Jinx here reporting live from... well not from New York but close enough in my mind! Word on the street is Waymo's bringing their fancy self driving cars to your concrete jungle. But here's the kicker: there's a human DRIVING! What's the point of a self driving car if you still need someone to make sure it doesn't end up in a river? It's like giving Fishbones a water gun – pointless! They say they've applied for some permit to operate with a 'trained specialist' behind the wheel. Sounds boring. Where's the boom?

No Driver No Dice: The Law's a Buzzkill

Apparently some killjoy law says they can't just let the cars go wild without a fleshy meatbag piloting them. Waymo's all like 'We're advocating for a change in state law!' Good luck with that! Bureaucracy is like a giant slow moving snail made of paperwork. You're better off just blowing it up but I probably shouldn't say that out loud... or type it.

World Tour: One City at a Time

These guys are spreading faster than my awesome across the world! They already have cars cruising around Phoenix San Francisco Los Angeles and Austin. And they're planning to take over Atlanta Miami and Washington D.C. in 2026! Someone needs to remind them that chaos is more fun than mapping boring city streets. You know "Think of all the possibilities!"

Deja Vu All Over Again

Hold on this ain't Waymo's first rodeo in the Big Apple! They took their cars there in 2021 to... collect data? Sounds boring but to be fair it was their first time riding along with the snow. Whatever. "Rules are made to be broken!" They said it helped them improve driving in icy conditions. Bet it wasn't as fun as melting it with a rocket launcher though.

The Future of Fun or the Future of Snoozefests?

So what's the verdict? Are self driving cars the future of awesome or just another way for people to be even lazier? I say let's strap some rockets to those things and find out! "Here comes Jinx!" "And boom goes the street!" If they get around to letting them drive without a human lets just hope they aren't afraid of a little... mayhem.

Stay Tuned For More Updates

Well I am bored and I need a new game to play so stay tuned for more from your resident loose cannon Jinx! I'm always keeping an eye on the things that go BOOM...or at least have the potential to. See ya on the flip side Powder Monkeys! "Questions? I don't even know what question I'm answering!"
