Lidar
A Waymo, filled with empty coffee cups, addresses its disgusted passengers as it approached as Starbucks drive-thru window. Text on image: "I always have coffee when I watch LIDAR. Everybody knows that!"

Notes

It's day two of Mel Brooks week and today is a Spaceballs reference. It's probably my favorite of his films. Like last time, it was a pretty simple joke to make once I changed RADAR to LIDAR. Plus I think LIDAR is inherently funnier.

The image generation model was especially sloppy with this one. It wanted to put way too many cups in the car, and most of them half full and spilling everywhere. Sometimes it put the people in the front seat. Sometimes the barista was clipping through the wall or hanging completely over the window. I tried to make it use Yogurt for the barista but that came out terribly. It also drew a really bad Mega Maid when I tried adding that. So, sadly, no Easter Eggs in this one. But since Mel is Jewish, that seems appropriate.
