“Your honor, my client does not possess the funds to continue this trial, so we have crafted an offer to the plaintiffs: in lieu of compensating them for the hundreds of watches that have gone missing from their inventory, we admit no wrongdoing and they will be offered stock in his watch making company should he ever start one”

Meanwhile, toyota’s driver assist tech from 2023 models will actively jerk the wheel from you and try to steer itself into obstructions on the side of the road you’re trying to pass, if you have to move closer to the double yellow dividing lines to do it.
