Trying to touch
the lonely trees prison
Also a network node, an interchange for traffic
I did something which felt a little mean. As much as I’d grown into our collaboration, and
fond of my automated companion, I decided to test it. And so, using several kilo bags of
salt, I poured out onto the ground a solid circle a few metres in diameter, and then around
it I drew a dashed circle. Together, these circles formed a closed space in which the
(European) road marking for ‘No Entry’ is projected inwards. As a result, any well-trained,
law-abiding autonomous vehicle, on entering the circle, would find itself unable to leave
it. I called it the Autonomous Trap.
