Comic Strip Title: "Self-Driving Car Software"

Summary:

The comic strip revolves around a conversation between a government official and a Dilbert character, who is concerned about the government's plan to use self-driving car software. The official reassures him that the software will only be used to kill terrorists and traitors, but Dilbert is skeptical, thinking it might be used to disable the car and not reveal its true purpose. The comic strip humorously highlights the tension between government control and individual autonomy in the context of emerging technologies like self-driving cars.
