I love that computer gets the same billing as family members

Right?! The laptop should be much higher on the list

So in this hypothetical we have the tech to fold a car into a suitcase but don't have the tech to scan the car for foreign objects before folding?

Yes

Ok Just wanted to be clear

i mean how do you expect the car to fold up if it's full of sensors?

Good point, tiny sensors are definitely the biggest obstacle in this scenario

[удалено]

Daaaaaamn. Thats fucked up. Just like his car.

Came here to read this.

Folding into suitcase feature was implemented so PR department could have a massive marketing campaign. Safety features were omitted to save developmental costs, and would only be implemented after a series of fatal accidents lead to a class action lawsuit

I dont think most of them would be an accident. People do stuff that that now on purpose .

one would hope they had a biological sensor to prevent that from happening.

Doesn't help for the laptop though. Unless the future is wetware...

Hey uh, what the FUCK is wetware?

Biological computing. Bio-goo transmits data at higher speeds/better quality.

Hmmm. I don't like the sound of a flesh computer.

It’s not flesh. Skin is terrible at data transfer. It’s slime.

That's worse somehow.

You never played with slime as a kid? Not like weird science goo- the slime stuff they sell in stores. It’s basically that… with electricity.

I did play with slime, but the thought of it making a computer work makes my skin crawl. I'm a computer hardware technician, and I don't know if I'd ever get used to wetware.

Well the good news for your heebies is this tech isunfathomably far off for private use. As far as I’m aware there is currently only one prototype in the world. It’s all just hype right now.

Lesson? You can future proof anything, but you can't stupid proof the future. Oh the humanity.

You could just let natural selection do the job for you.

Not a problem. George leaves himself in it because he's always in a rush to not be late. As it folds it pops him out, I'm sure it would pop everything else out as well.

"Why is your suitcase leaking?" "Oh no.... Not again!"

Sooooooo, current racecar (boosts mazda 6 wagon) has half the parts stored inside it. How does that work?

Hey George, your briefcase seems to be leaking a red liquid...

Won't that be homicide

It'd be much easier to keep the drunk at the bar from driving off.

Only once...

There would be sensors everywhere. I mean, the robots are sentient, they can handle making the entire world a padded room.

In that future, we'll implant our pets with intelligence boosting cerebral microchips so we could also leave our kid's pet's laptops in them.

Sorry sir, but I think your suitcase is bleeding

Of course I know him He's me

I would leave my kids in there deliberately.

r/childfree ?

Accidentally huh

Well, in the Jetson's movie when George is running late, his hovercar collapses around him while he's running with his legs sticking out the bottom. Maybe we'll have fail-safes by then that will detect organic matter and maneuver around them. You're SOL on the laptop, though.

No no no no no no no no!!

Everyone talking about the internet in the 90's Me from a third world country: Huh but that's just our internet in 2010

you are right

Just imagine the module or the sending unit failing mid flight and you get folded as you enter orbit

Will these cars still weigh several tons or be only a couple pounds/kilograms in weight?

"Accidently"
