It should be well known by now that if you play with suicide on screen, you're going to hear about it. Sometimes it's from prevention groups who want shows to "stop using suicide as a punchline." When it comes to Jeremy Clarkson, though, it isn't a question of whether he knows, but whether he ...

VIDEO: Audi in on developing dashboard-mounted buddy robot 26 days ago on Autoblog

We don't know where carmakers got the idea that we want intelligent robots learning our behavior and then talking to us.
