My mind is constituted of countless flying caffeinated squirrels. It is already dangerous to put them behind the wheel, but I only allow the most "responsible" ones drive, but if the car responds to all of them...
Anybody want a peanut?

Yeah. Seems like a terrible idea for cars, though a great one for wheelchairs.
