    The reactors, their parts, and the reactor reactor parts, will be protected by 24-7 surveillance provided by Roboguard® .

    But what If they unionise and go on stike?

    If the car is designed not to run people over, standing at the top of someone's driveway and refusing to move until you are given twenty quid might be a money spinner.


    inbuilt water gun filled with diarrhoea aimed at the obstruction would solve that problem

    Yes but now you have (a) the added expense of the water gun to factor in, and (b) yet another refuelling problem. Not to mention the legal minefield of waste management issues that would be involved.

    Well, if you were truly worried about that possibility, then you would be implacably opposed to the whole idea of Zombie Robot Cars in the first place.

    The initial point of my argument is that we will be forced into accepting the Zombie Robot Driving Apocalypse as we will be priced out of refusing it.

    The whole thing gets even better when you look at the coming Zombie Apocalypse of Power Stations (ex-Northern Europe). I've been meaning to post about that for a couple of weeks but haven't gotten round to it.

    I have no fear of Skynet myself. My belief is that (eventually) we shall see the Zombie Robot Apocalypse of practically everything. But what we really, really, really need is the energy to power the darned things.

    Ah yes, I'm getting on to that.

    I've been looking at the Zombie Apocalypse of Electricity Generators and found an amazing piece of research from Alliance Berstein this week which helped me to gather my thoughts. It might not be so great for Northern Europe (e.g. UK) as it's about solar but it's going to be revolutionary for many.

    If automation made everything close to free surely we would use nuclear power instead of PV power for the fact that it is far more energy dense

    do we opt to cover 1 km2 with reactors or or 100,000 km2 with PV cells
