This reminds me of my favourite scene from the social network when movie Zuck gets the idea for facemash: Billy Olson’s sitting here and had the idea of putting some of these next to pictures of farm animals and have people vote on who’s ho

Get your brother or sister to pretend they are building it , no one is going to verify this. Once it gains enough traction consider quitting.

Very true but lets pretend we are in the real world where making all these changes is exponentially harder than only changing the cars. Listening to Geo-shot the main problem is to get them to co-exist with human drivers.
