California police pull over a self-driving Waymo for an illegal U-turn, but they can't ticket
AI fought the law, and the AI won.

Here was his outline, yeah he wanted an African union to rival the EU model, which would have included currency and nationalisation of strategic mineral resources, oil, cobalat, uranium and gold, he also wanted food strategy and pooling to make Africa food secure.
It was ambitious and I still hope to see it one day.
Now imagine European leaders thought process to what this competitor would mean or for the US who buys on the cheap from there.
If similar was proposed for the middle east imagine what that would represent.
Suddenly the destabilising games make sense

I wont gloss over the atrocities, the guy treated the darker skinned africans like slaves, eliminated his competition.I was unaware Gaddaif, or anyone else, had attempted to organize the creation of a new, single African currency. Nor did I know this idea was opposed by any Western governments. However, I was well aware that back in 1979, no US bank would exchange Libyan dinar for American dollars. And, I don't believe the US was alone in that regard. So, I can understand why Gaddaif would have been keenly interested in establishing an African currency similar to the Euro.
But none of those things are the reason he is dead, it was for championing a single currency for Africa.
