James Patrick Kelly: What It Means to Be a Car (2023, Doherty Associates, LLC, Tom) 3 stars

An AI car is caught between its ruthless employer and the people she hurt...

When an AI car has to decide whether its owner or its passenger has priority.

3 stars

An AI car which serves its uploaded owner picks up a visiting passenger. That visit would gradually turn tense as the passenger has a grudge against the owner, and then violent. Events would then put the car into a dilemma, as it tries to serve both its owner and the passenger, which is at odds with its own priorities. Eventually something has to give, and the car must decide which one.
