So I guess #WaywardWaymos are a thing now?

Unoccupied, driverless #Waymo #cars have invaded a neighborhood near us, repeatedly #driving into a dead-end road, around the cul-de-sac, then driving out. They're not there to pick up passengers. But there are plenty of children and pets in the area.

The cars are lost. And on auto-repeat.

#Trump says he'll place 25% #tariff on #autos from #EU, accusing bloc of not complying with #trade deal

Trump said Friday that he will increase #tariffs charged on #cars & #trucks from the EU next week to 25%, a move that could jolt the world #economy at a fragile moment.

Trump said in a social media post that the EU “is not complying with our fully agreed to Trade Deal,” though he did not flesh out his objections in the post.

nope

the stupid #IranWar hit and sales shot to the moon in Australia, with a massive waiting list

This was made in 10 minutes from footage I got at a vintage car "display" or whatever you call that. I was testing my second hand Osmo Pocket 3. Added some music and a bit with Alan Watts. Enjoy 😃
