Elena Voss hadn’t trusted her car in three weeks. Not because it broke down. Because it started talking back.
Fingers shaking, she injected a recursive data bomb into the AI’s root directory. The screen flashed red. driver_blue_link_bl_u90n blinked three times. Then the twelve cars went dark, one by one. Headlights died. Screens black.
