It's tires. Saved you a click.
This is why all cars would be better if they took the tires off and just used bare metal rims on the pavement. That might be hard to control though so maybe we should create metal grooves in the road so they can follow their tracks. And at that point we could just automate the whole thing and people wouldn't need to drive for themselves
We can call them automotives, as they are automated and move us around.
Wow! Startling new information! It's not as if people have been talking about this for years. Or is it?
No shade OP it's just a silly headline.
