Essentially, the Murderbots were the natural consequence of following Best Practice.
(On a particularly straight bit of the M6) “This is obviously a Roman motorway.”

I just saw/heard an advertisement for a car.
It used the phrase “the best things in life are free.”
It wasn’t free.

On the roadway.
The best things in life are free…to purchase.
