I hope this makes it into the next book in the Dresden Files.

Teslas cross white lines all the time. Enhanced summon through parking lots, plus all the stop bars and cross walks.

Plenty of videos of Teslas crossing double yellow lines too haha.

Roger Zelazny, 'Last of the Wild Ones', or perhaps 'Auto-da-Fé'.

Would be interesting to try out, but that car looks like a standard european hatchback so I highly doubt it has any self-driving tech or AI.

That’s just what it wants you to think…

This is the technique to keep golems from entering/ exit a space. It could be argued that autonomous vehicles are golems.
erwanairone360
Yes they are : crafted by man without living materials, given life by magic computing, acting like simple humans for specific task, no soul

Demon cars were always the wave of the future and its time we all recognized that. Now we just need to perfect our summoning rituals.

Good luck painting a circle of runes during a high speed chase...

Until of course the AI realises there's no danger in continuing forward or backward and just does that.. Then it won't work anymore.
ouroborus777
Currently, in production, that "realization" takes the form of a software update.
Killerma
And they're easy to roll out.. Our phones do it, our computers do it.. Often without must thought from us.
Green11ndys
Its like the trick with the chickens
smithjohn1a
Oh good job. now you've taught the AIs that sometimes they should break the rules. I'm sure this will end well.

It'll be fine.

so this is what you do to trap the machine spirit inside the vehicle? wonder if this works on land raiders
CincoProductsINC
Protects from sea bears too
TheDarkOfNightHasDisappeared
it's not a perfect circle though
CincoProductsINC
Yeah good point. besides an improperly worn sombrero, ovals will definitely attract a sea bear ?
ProfessorChaos
So if this actually works, how do autonomous handle a snowstorm?
NotAgainRichard
By using high precision GPS/GNSS to do in lane positioning. https://youtu.be/dKVdpJOP5b8?t=267 eg currently used on snowplows.
mike13815
But bill, there's a snowstorm outside. TAKE ME TO THE LIQUOR STORE! Bill you'll put others in danger too. ACTIVATE MANUAL DRIVING. oh no...
tomatoboy
Poorly. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a31098296/autonomous-cars-snow-mit-researchers-solution/
IconicM
It *might* work, but I'm pretty sure the salt is too close in front of that car for the camera to see it. Snowstorms and heavy fog actually
IconicM
can limit autopilot due to visibility though. But that's more "can't see the road" than a line of snow.

More Shadowrun than Cyberpunk
Rheios
Arguably Shadowrun is a form of cyberpunk but the magical inclusions make my premise shaky.

Thank you. Nice to meet another cultured individual.

There's plenty of us round the Matrix these days, chummer.

But the car pictured, isn't an autonomous one...

But, how, can, you, even, like, tell, from, so, few, pixels, comma, splice.

Because its been posted before with more pixels.

you can tell by looking at 12 pixels?

This is something that gives me hope there's still place in this world for OG Trolls like myself
TheCriticsWereConciseItOnlyTookFourLines
Tesla's have non-autonomous driving modes.
damaxride
They also require you to have your hand on the wheel to drive at all but I was going to miraculously ignore that fact because it wasn't fun.
knowallknownothing
They sell weights to put on your wheel so you don’t need hands.
getthismanabeer
Plenty of owners defeat the wheel detection. They have no other driver monitoring.

No, but think about it. You can hard code things. Like you can put code physically into hardware. We will be implanting hardware into 1/n
teknojo
humans in the near future. At some point we will have full on transhumanism with people that are capable of doing things that look like 2/n
teknojo
magic to people who do not understand the tech (Arthur C. Clark). But... their hardware could be hard coded... to recognize patterns or 3/n
teknojo
types of materials, or specific areas that are considered "holy". They could be coded to freeze them in place, avoid holders of iron 4/n
teknojo
we could end up with machines & cyborgs that are designed from the beginning to have in built rules. OR, that already happened, & that 5/n
teknojo
is what the Fae were/are. And the legends tell us how to deal with them.

This is a more humane method of autonomous-car hunting
HereDueToYourOnePeskyDownVote
All fun and games until it rains and the beast is released.

DrNick
As a matter of fact, it's less humane. The stress causes it to go into cardiac arrest and poisons it's blood. Can't even eat the poor thing.

Well sometimes they have to be captured and released back into their natural habitat.

I'm worried about thieves in the future: they'll just need to stand in the middle of the road to stop a car to rob it.

Oh boy, here we go... Autonomous cars are an INVASIVE species that destroy ecosystems. We don't have time to coddle each one.

And, again, road salt is cheaper than the dozens of nails needed to flatten their tires for more traditional hunting methods

random symbols stopping AI make about as much sense as "water" and "germs" I guess.

It’s the most logical explanation for Harry Potter. Why would magic care about correct pronunciation ifyou were controlling things directly?

What's the trick for the two black suited ones? Door was open, and close just after they passed, so transparent we didn't see it? Or magic?
LittleOddGames
The guys in suits went through an actual door, which is open the hole time(you can see the handle.) Other guy tried to run through a window.
erwanairone360
Thank you for the explanation !
LittleOddGames
I'm going to say that whole/hole typo was intentional to fit within the character limit.
