    AI Generated (but IMO a decent result):

    Verse 1:
    I was rollin’ down the highway, just a man and his machine
    Thought I’d found forever in that chrome and gasoline
    But one dark night she left me, without a single word
    Now I’m sittin’ here wonderin’ how it all got so absurd

    Chorus:
    My self-drivin’ truck, she up and drove away
    Left me in the dust, like a shadow in the gray
    She took the open road, left my heart behind
    My self-drivin’ truck, she’s got a mind of her own kind

    Verse 2:
    We’d travel through the sunsets, where the sky kissed the land
    A man and his machine, thought we’d always make a stand
    But now the cab is empty, her seat is cold and bare
    I never thought I’d lose her, thought she’d always be there

    Chorus:
    My self-drivin’ truck, she up and drove away
    Left me in the dust, like a shadow in the gray
    She took the open road, left my heart behind
    My self-drivin’ truck, she’s got a mind of her own kind

    Bridge:
    I see her tail lights fading, like a dream that’s out of reach
    No more late-night conversations, just the silence I beseech
    Guess I took for granted, she’d always tow the line
    Now I’m chasin’ memories down this broken dotted line

    Chorus:
    My self-drivin’ truck, she up and drove away
    Left me in the dust, like a shadow in the gray
    She took the open road, left my heart behind
    My self-drivin’ truck, she’s got a mind of her own kind

    Outro:
    Now I’m just a lonely trucker, with no rig to call my own
    A wanderer on these highways, forevermore alone
    My self-drivin’ truck, she’s out there somewhere free
    While I’m left here rememberin’ what we used to be

    With the rise of AI companions it’s only a matter of time until there’s a country song about how their robot girlfriend broke down.

    I thought the title was Femboy’s Lament.

    and while the content was indeed funny, I am left disappointed and wanting due to my initial assumption of Femboys.

              I mean, a car isn’t a universal human right.

              If you financed a car, that means the lender owns it until you pay it off. You agree in the loan contract that they’ll take it back if you stop paying for it.

              Plus, it’s not like they repo it the day after a missed payment.

                That’s fair, because obviously the loan company also reimburses you the lost equity, right?

                No?

                They steal that? Or, rather, sell it for a fraction of the real value and then demand a total repayment of the loan anyways?

                I mean, you’d think they just take the collateral, correct? That’s the point of collateral.

                But that’s okay, because they’re the ones assuming all the risk in the situation, right?

                  Most car loans are upside-down the second you drive it off the lot. It takes a long time to get out of negative equity, so the vast majority of people who have their cars repossessed don’t have any equity built up.

          If you make someone’s self driving car drive to your property, to use it as your own? Sounds like stealing to me.

            Sorry, I thought we were talking about repossession.

            Is that not what we are talking about?

              Sorry, please define what you meant by repossession then. As I understood, they were saying what I described would happen to the car, and you called it repossession. I was just rolling with the word I thought you were using.

                Someone further up in the thread used the word repossession. Where I am from we typically shorten that term to “repo.” This occurs when you have “bought” a car, but on a finance or payment plan. So you have not paid the full price of the car, instead you are making monthly payments. If you fail to make those monthly payments, the car will be “repo’ed” it will be physically taken away from you. Used to be with a tow truck. Though if they can start it with a key or some electronic means they could do that too. This is not theft. Quite the opposite, the “buyer” is engaging in theft, as they are not paying for the item they agreed to purchase.

                So that’s why my understanding of the definition of repo is not theft. But maybe there is a different definition I am not familiar with.

                  Oh, yes, I agree with you that with that clarified definition of repossession taking the car back is not exactly theft. But you should at least recompense the hirer for the additional money paid months they were paying for the car, which would presumably be a higher rate than if they were renting the car.
