A Man Ordered A Voice Automated Car

A man ordered a voice-automated robot car that does anything

he tells it to do correctly without any error. He got the

car and became very proud of what the car could do without

mistakes. One day, he was home and his wife told him to tell

the car to go and pick the children from school as she was

very tired. The man agreed and said to the car, “Car! Go

and bring my children from school.” The car went and

didn’t return in time as expected, they knew something

must be wrong. Several hours later and with no car, the man

became apprehensive. He dressed up and got ready to lodge a

report at the police station. As he and his wife stepped

outside they saw the car coming with an overload of

children. The car parked right in front of them and said,

“These are your children, sir.” In the car, were their

Landlady’s two daughters, their choir mistress’ two

sons, his wife’s best friend’s daughter, their

pastor’s son and their neighbour’s two sons. The wife

who was angry shouted at her husband, “Don’t tell me all

these are your children!” The man asked her calmly, “Can

you first tell me why our children are not in the car?”
