You’ll go where ever the truck takes you bub.

Tell ’em Large Marge sent ya!

Ah, well… Carry on, my wayward son.

Anybody spot Bleeb?

Where’s that little creature in this one?

I guess by 2025 Bleebs work on earth will be finished.

Me no trust driverless vehicles….nope, not me!

If you’re nervous now, wait until the computer starts to buffer.

Oh yeah. Theres a thought, what a blow to the economy when the poor folks who depend on drivers to give them rides, money, etc. The homeless guy on the corner is looking at a bleak future.

That’s what you get for going to Topeka Kevin !

“I’m sorry, Kevin. I’m afraid I can’t do that!”

See if you can do manual override.

What, no bathroom stops?

Would you like to play a game?

i’ve only picked up one hitchhiker in my long life, back around 1980, picked up aileen wuornos …..

Those things will know to stop and pick up hitchhikers?

Maybe the truck in Duel was really an early prototype driverless semi gone amok?

It’ll be quite the awkward silence driving….unless the truck talks back

So…how did the driver-less truck know to stop for a hitchhiker?

I’ve wondered how to compare Trump’s Presidency to Biden’s, know I know. At least Biden takes the wheel.

I thought it was Large Marge giving the guy a ride…

We miss Bleep when he is on vacation. I enjoy your work.

Mechanical voice responds: This is a biodiesel vehicle. Kindly climb into the processing tank in the back of the cab.

Has anyone contacted John on his email, to see if he’s okay?

This is really funny — LOLOL

Keep on Truckin’.

Driverless vehicle and Bleeb-less cartoon :(

Topeka??
