Congratulations, Mr. Smith, You've Won!

Written by Paul Gamlowski


Ralph Smith ordered an 'ad-hoc self-driving auto-pod.'


Robotically assembled for his immediate needs, it drove itself to his residence.


He entered it:


"Where to Mr. Smith?" asked the vehicle's AI.


"Seattle, Washington."


"That'll take 3 hours by transitioning into a hyperloop based on current network congestion."


"But I need to get there in about 60 minutes!"


"For 1-hour priority travel, please enter a starting bid of 1,000 Unified Earth Credits and your max bid."


"Okay done … Come on, come on, hurry people, bid!"


"Congratulations, Mr. Smith, you've won! You'll arrive at your destination in one hour for 40,000 UEC."
