There’s a new company providing shuttle service in the University of Michigan (and now coming to Las Vegas) and their new  van is self-driven, ugly and ridiculously named - Autonom .

Why is it ridiculous to name it for exactly what it is? Other name suggestions? Just curious, I don’t really see the issue with the name.

To me, its as if they are naming things with the slang “nom” in it, as if humans were food for a cartoon robot.

Its a car. Not a cartoon.

In fact, I encourage automakers to rename any car who’s name evokes emotion. I think McLaren got it right with the MP12-4C. /s (I’m going a step further to show how ridiculous my notion is and I am aware of that. Nevertheless, I will hate any car that has “nom” in its name.)

Ah, gotcha... Didn’t read it like “nom nom nom” but like “gnome” due to the maker being French and all that.
