The Self-Driving Car's Big Oops

Duchess, Bruno, and Boxer are all excited to try out Bruno's new ultra-cool, self-driving car. It is all futuristic with shiny lights and no need for a driver.

"See, it drives by itself!" Bruno boasted as he shows off the car's features. Duchess gazes out the window, impressed. Boxer, from the back, exclaims with untrammelled excitement, "Wow, I haven’t seen anything this cool since Gizmo lent me his money printer!"

But oh boy, mentioning Gizmo's money printer was a big mistake. The car, thinking Boxer was confessing to something illegal, suddenly locks down. Blue and red lights flash inside, and a robotic voice announces, "Criminal activity detected, on route to nearest police station!"

Duchess panics, pulling at the door handle with all her might. Bruno tries to wrestle control back from the steering wheel. Boxer, realising his big mistake, bangs on the windows, hoping to explain it is all just a misunderstanding.

This comic is a tale of technology gone too smart, where a simple boast about a friend's crazy invention turns into an unexpected ride to the police station. It's a funny reminder to watch what you say around high-tech gadgets!
