A five-panel SMBC comic. A blond salesman in a suit sits behind the wheel of a car beside a dark-haired customer in the passenger seat. Panel 1, salesman: 'For just a few thousand dollars more, this car comes with full self driving.' Panel 2, customer: 'Wow! So I can just take my hands off the wheel and relax?' Panel 3, salesman, deadpan: 'That would be extraordinarily dangerous.' Panel 4, customer: 'But doesn't it drive itself?' Salesman: 'You're confusing "full self driving" with "actual for real this time truly fully full self-autonomous driving no kidding, pinky swear, version 4.2.1."' Panel 5, customer: 'When can I buy that?' Salesman: 'Technically, right now.' The joke mocks marketing that labels a feature 'full self driving' while it is neither full nor safely autonomous. Votey: a close-up of the salesman saying, 'Think of yourself as an investor in something or other.'
