My car's frontal collision avoidance alarm sounded because a cyclist approached the kerb (as if to cross in front of the car, but he stopped before being in danger) just as I saw him. I did not know it was predictive. Nice to know it is there watching..

@sullybiker designers focus too much on making AI assistanta sound nice. I want one like Orac, that sounds like it smokes 50 / day and has a personality disorder.

@sullybiker see, they could easily have gone with Professor Honeydew. "I'm tickled pink to annoumce that this car is due a service. At Muppet Labs."
