I do rather wonder why you are so convinced that Canadians will be beating a path to the Swasticar 'boutiques'... especially given Trumpolini's sterling work at fostering relations with Canada and Melon Husk stripping out features and then asking customers to rent them back

Almost a fence. This is what passes for a hiking trail in some parts of Ireland. This used to be a trail but rarely used so its become overgrown. #Hiking #Photography #EastCoastKin #Nature #Ireland
A close up shot of an old weathered tree branch repurposed as a fence post. The post is bleached and cracked with patches of moss and lichen. The only suggestion of a fence is the rusted barbed wire running between the posts. The ground is a field of purple gorse on the edge of a forest. A cold December sky up above. The soft light looks like early morning or evening but that's what the middle of the day looks like here in December.

'Maybe one intervention weekly.' so it doesn't work 'perfectly'... I'm not trying to be pedantic... but by your own admission it requires regular (although maybe not frequent) intervention and suggests you are having to constantly monitor it... that is not 'Full Self Driving'
