I get so claustrophobic in a MRI machine that I need to take a nerve pill before I go in and then close my eyes and clench my fists.
I'm so claustrophobic that when I die I'm going to cremated.
So spending the night in the hotel mentioned would not work for me.

Yeah, but in Florida would you want a big lot to have to mow in the summer?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

We live in a little town in N. FL..
Summers are brutal but we do the mowing early in the morning.

That would make for a huge house. But for a lot? That's 100x100, which is ridiculously small.
My neighbor had a nice log house built on 15 acres, and he mowed 4 of those - the rest was covered with trees. He and the wife each had riding mowers and mowing that was a full-day endeavor between the two of them.
He sold the whole thing to a housing developer, who then started by cutting down all trees, and will demolish the log house soon, which is a shame as the place looks looked amazing.

That's about 33 * 33 ~= 1,000 square meters, or 1 dunam. But Israeli standards, that is a large plot.
Most people in Israel live in apartment blocks. Unless one is in the top 0.1%, a 1,000 square meter plot is about all one is likely to be able to afford.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I hadn't followed any link, so I didn't realize Israel was part of the discussion.
I live out in the country in Canada, on a (if I recall) 125'x325' lot. It's not exactly huge, especially compared to some of my neighbors. The lot used to be part of a larger farm land area (my grandfather's), which was measured in kilometers.

10,000 sq ft is a modest sized home for a celebrity. Need many more 0s to include the lot.

It's fairly typical for cities in Florida platted in the 60's to 70's. A lot of the lots were bought site unseen by 'northerners'. In contrast, coming to SWFL from front range Colorado prairie, our 12k lot here can turn into a mini-jungle in 6 months

Hmmm, I just want a Hal-9000 avatar for AI. Very clever but... A friend did suggest Elon Musk used an AI to generate money on the stock market before it was banned..

How long before self driving cars claims stop?
I am talking about the claim of replacing all cars and not about autonomous vehicles driving around a warehouse.
Consider this as a scenario in 2021 42,000+ people died in automobile accidents in the US. About 1,000 were children. Notice that injuries are a lot higher.
So lets say self driving cars worked and so deaths dropped by two orders of magnitude. So 420 people and 10 children.
Now in any modern accident in the vast majority of cases a driver is found to be at fault. Drunk, texting, distracted, reckless, etc.
So in the above with a self driving care no person can be at fault. Because they were not driving.
Now in some of those cases, especially with children, someone is going to blame the car. Not the specific car, but the manufacturer of the car.
And then they will sue them for 10 million. Or 100 million.
Consider that just in past week a door (sort of) blew off an airplane and all planes of that type were grounded.
Is the government going ground a couple million cars? Might even be possible with self driving, just send a signal.
One of self driving car companies is likely going out of business because their car drove to the side of the road with a pedestrian underneath.
Now if a person had been driving the driver presumably would have been at fault - if anyone could have determined the correct behavior in that bizarre case. Seems like slamming on the brakes, in the middle of a highway, might not be the best action. So what is right? Who gets to decide that?
And even if the action was exactly right, is a lawsuit against the company still going to happen?
