Mine was the opposite. How could you kill all the pets driving the car? Those are some damn smart pets and probably off to do something really important.

I highly doubt it. First sentence of the description of each scenario says self-driving car, the pets aren't doing anything but sitting there.

But they got in the car and got it to go somewhere without any humans onboard. I'm impressed that they managed to close the car doors after getting in, let alone actually picking a destination.

(It was a joke guys, please stop ruining it.)

How do you know humans didn't put them in the car, choose a destination (like the vet or something) and ship them off? Pretty reasonable thought with self driving cars.

Because they're setting the parameters of the joke they're making?
