When I listen to one of my online radio stations, the feed always starts with a certain car commercial that's touting how safe it is. A generic European-accented voice sounds quite amazed as it tells me, "In case of an accident, the (whatever the model of the car is) can stop itself!"
No kidding? I drive a 13-year-old Toyota pickup, and in case of an accident, it'll stop itself too. It's called Newton's First Law, about how a body in motion (my pickup) will tend to remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force (whatever my pickup hits or is hit by).
Ah, Sir Isaac, they hardly knew ye...
