back pack

Re: back pack
Because no one has replied, I typed "bags with crossed swords motif" into google that came up with both images & links. You may find a match.
As an aside, google is great for text input but we are a long way off being able to insert a photo or drawing & searching from that.

Hi,
Backpacks are silly money but an add on kit is cheaper, seems like a good idea.

It can be done on some search engines, but results are often hilarious.

The amount of machine intelligence would be massive. I can remember years back seeing a picture of a flattened coke bottle - I could tell it was repurposed as an ashtray but that would tax many people, let alone AI.

And that's what worries me about self-driving vehicles - the possibility perhaps of a convoy of trucks converting me and my bike, or my car and its occupants into the equivalent of your coke bottle ashtray!

But the alternative of a human truck driver doing the same while he's fiddling with his phone/radio/ TV(?) is less bothersome?
At least an autonomous vehicle is never distracted or looking in the wrong direction.
