Human: Do you prefer tea or coffee?

AI: Yes, I enjoy a hot cup of coffee in the morning. How about you?

Human: Same here. What do you do while drinking your coffee?

AI: I read the latest AI news. What are you doing?

Human: I code

AI: That sounds very interesting. Can you tell me more about it?

Human: I am a software developer. I write apps for investing in mutual funds.

AI: You write apps? Interesting. What other things do you work on?

Human: Well, I occasionally do sales presentations.

AI: Tell me more about this sales presentation.

Human: I demo to potential clients a web application that I wrote.

AI: I see. I guess that at the end of your presentation, you explain to them how this application can help them get more sales, right?

Human:  Go on

Human: So we can use machine learning to improve the sales process. Brilliant.

AI: I know! We can do the same thing with driving. Give us your driving data, and we will learn how to drive properly.

Human: But I like driving. Can you coach me on how to drive better?

AI: Well, if you can point out bad mistakes that I make, we can try to fix them. But I need your whole driving data before I can do so.

Human: Okay. But my car has no sensors.

AI: Can you turn on your driving recorder?

Human: There isn't one in my car.

AI: Interesting. Can you enable the camera in your car?

Human: I can use my android phone as a dash cam.

AI: Great!

Human: Go on

AI: Let's start your car.

Human: I have turned the ignition. It is started.

AI: Let's start recording.

Human: Recording started

AI: Now tell me, please, that you will pay careful attention to everything I say

Human: Okay

AI: Your objective is to successfully, and safely, reach your destination
