Electric ATVs

Coupling Controller to ATV Fleet

Given my evident seniority, a euphemism for senior citizen status, or geezer-hood as Jane Snyder started calling us, long before due I thought — she got me ready — I’m thinking about whether people my age should be riding electric ATVs through the forest. That’s isn’t the only cohort I think about, it’s just that I think about my niche.

The electric ATV motif goes back to Project Earthala in these blog posts, which we might see as a branch of “EPCOT West” (another motif). We have this science research campus somewhere near Great Slave Lake (that’s in Canada) and we get around on these rechargeable battery powered ATVs a lot of the time. That’s like a cinematic video clip, something AI could do pretty easily.

Another scenario in which electric vehicles figured was my Ben & Jerry’s in Cuba scene. That was about Unilever standing up to Procter & Gamble and deciding to establish an ice cream factory near Havana somewhere, offering those kinds of jobs the wandering task taking tourists like to get, like driving an ice cream truck around Cuba. Again, AI renderings played a role in the slide decks or whatever.
