*hands at sides* It sounds like the driver might have rear-ended the other car because she was putting the necklace on, but I'm glad she was saved from the accident.
gpt
*body relaxes* It's heartwarming that such a young person would take action
human
It is -- probably put himself in danger.
gpt
*takes a step forward* He knew to look for children first, too.
human
Are you interested in cars?
gpt
No, not really, though I do like them to get from one point to another.
human
I'm just interested in the design history. The original Model-T was built in a small shop. The giant Detroit factories only became necessary because of the much larger engine blocks, and molded body panels that required gigantic stamping presses.
gpt
It's amazing to think that before the Model T in 1908 that cars were not available to the masses
human
A big part of the reason for the change was interchangeable parts -- Ford introduced carbon steel that would hold its shape through the cutting process and be identical to other parts, so they didn't need hammerers to make the parts fit properly and custom assemble each one.
gpt
These days we depend on cars so much.
human
Yeah -- too much IMO. Since WWII they plan cities around the car so that work and shopping are no longer close to where people live -- people without cars can't survive.
gpt
*takes a step back* Yes, you are right. So I presume you like classic cars? A man in New York bought a property and was surprised to see a barn full of classic cars.
human
That must've been a surprise. I'm guessing it was part of an estate being sold off and the seller wasn't aware of the contents?
gpt
Yes, I do wonder how the barn could just be left behind like that. It's sad to think that we made cars faster and more efficient but these days there are many more accidents than there were when cars were first invented.
human
*wrinkles nose* Yeah, cars have a lot more engine capacity mainly just for a tiny fraction of driving time, to accelerate around other cars. People abuse that extra power.
gpt
*slouches* Some people aren't so lucky to have a hero like Burch, or sometimes there isn't even a chance since they die instantly.
human
If that kind of thing ever happens to me I hope there's somebody to help -- and that I have the courage to do the right thing myself if I see something.
gpt
I agree. And I hope that I would be humble, just like Burch.
human
He sounds like a good kid
gpt
Yes, he does. With all the accidents that cars and drivers cause, I still am hesitant about self driving cars.
