Robot Google Cars Will Kill You Old Lady — A Florida Political Ad
Robot Google Cars Will Kill You Old Lady — A Florida Political Ad-December 2024

She is the "I've fallen and I can't get up" lady for the 21st century. A poster child for the elderly. It's also a non-satirical version of the ad from Saturday Night Live.

The ad states that these are "driverless, remote controlled cars," which is patently wrong. These cars are not close to being remote controlled, which can be a positive or a negative depending on who you ask. There's also a driver in the front seat to override when things go wrong.

Well, hopefully not the living crap, Brandes needs their votes.
