Bill Gates is hanging out with the chairman of General Motors. 'If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, ' boasts Gates, 'you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10, 000 miles per hour, ' says Gates.
'Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than *50, ' he continues.
In response to all this goading, the GM chairman replies, 'Yes, but would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times a day?'
