      The Car Laughing?...not sure I ever heard a car laugh...not even my truck. I have noticed, however, my trucks tailgate wagging when I get out of work each night though.

      Ps...never drew a car like that in first grade...I was into 23 Model "T's" with big blowers and the stick shift coming out of the roof!

        The cars are now connecting to the internet, with Cell Access, logging your GPS. So... They might as well be listening.

        Seems they already have a Microphone.

        So it was a "deep joke" that we probably have no idea how "listened to we are".

        I guess I should have said...

        My Watch...
        The Ring ...
        Then the TV...
        Then the Thermostat...
        Then the Car...

          Ah yes, the nefarious ear...therefore, an evil laugh. Like in My wife's car, her dumbphone, concraps wifi units...I do speak softly in the house...except when I want them to know, I know, their lies, however, it's a different world in my old truck, a gift from DeWalt...no ears, eyes or noses.

          XCEL Energy is installing a new smart meter to the house. They wanted a hefty opt out fee.

            Technology Marches on. The "smart" Electric devices on the outside of the house... That's the smallest infraction. The TVs, Cell Phones, and Cars are what piss me off.

            If I owned the electric company, I would do it. They get rid of the Meter Reader. The can detect tampering. [Early on, my electric bills were so low, they came out quarterly to check my equipment, when I signed up for the A/C shut-off and get $6.50/mo discount on my bill the REFUSED me. They let me have the Water heater one for $3.50/month... I had it for 20 yrs. Considering my old bills that was like 2yrs of free service, LOL)

    Sometimes Siri lies to me. Wouldn't be the first sweet voice to do that.
    Just told Siri "I love you." She is still saying "You are the wind beneath my wings."
    She started that three or four years ago. Or maybe time flies for getting old.

        Well, sometimes Siri isn't all the bright. When an interstate I was used to traveling on was being closed for being remodeled, I told her to take me "to the Birmingham Airport" through the city streets. She told me we had reached my destination when we reached Birmingham's City Hall. Told her "Take me to the airport, the Birmingham airport" to make her fully listen.
        Another time I was lost in the boonies. Told Siri to take me to Pleasant Grove where I live. When I reached Pleasant Grove, she wanted me to turn away from my home. So I went the way she wanted to go. Where? You may have guessed it. Pleasant Grove City Hall.
        Later when lost in the sprawl of Birmingham, I told Siri to take me to Pleasant Grove. She took me in the opposite direction! Had to turn off my iPhone to make her shut up.
        At this point I could keep writing to make this twice as long. But I don't feel like it.

          I guess that's why we call it: ARTIFICIAL [un]intelligent...

            You suddenly have me thinking of a funny space movie that had an AI bomb that wanted to blow up because that was its purpose in life.
            Oh, yeah, and there's HAL, the dysfunctional killer computer in 2001 A Space Odyssey. During the Sixties that movie had me looking forward to living to see the 1969 moon landing but colonizing Mars and maybe flying on to Jupiter. I still feel disappointed.

    WOW, OUC!!! These are great!! I'll be chuckling all night, LOL! Right along with Alexa and Siri, LMAO! I hate to admit it, but I had a Spock encounter with the stuff some time ago - the tube burst - always wore gloves after that!
