Probably it would have sensed a toolbox on the passenger seat and not yelled at all ;-)

Seems preferable for sure.

I would say, but would I be sued? Asking about switching off the auto whatever is probably a good question to ask any person trying to sell you a car with auto features.

My excuse is shock.

The car yelling to put a seatbelt on seems polite, in this context.

Wellington city from Brooklyn. Even when recalling the walk from town, you don't recall quite enough about how long and steep that hill is πŸ˜†

Especially given none of the heads of this rampaging coalition actually live in Wellington. In fact, it seems they're trying to avoid the city completely with their ridiculous tunnel.
Please can the terms: 'this government' or 'National' or 'CoC' be used to describe neanderthal idiotic backward policies

Not the term 'Wellington' which is our capital city and which has been metaphorically crapped on by this government's hopelessly incompetent economic decisions

Imported LNG?

Why, oh why, are we under the thumb of absolute #fossilfools?

We could have energy independence with cheap offshore wind and solar power. We could phase out fossil fuels and transition to a carbon free economy.

But not with these crapitalist bootlickers in charge.

NZ building a fossil gas import terminal in the #climatecrisis could be Luxon’s most STUPID idea yet.

Why not spend that BILLION dollars on household solar and battery installation?

Would be safer, more resilient, provide cheaper power and climate-friendly.

Crazy huh? A system that can detect when eyes aren't on the road, or a yawn, some how failed to detect me in the driving seat while driving around a corner of a narrow, windy hill.

Well, I guess it stopped, so no? but probably didn't anticipate a potential heart attack fron the panic.
