The Supreme Leader of the Caliphate has declared a fatwah on the makers of self-driving autonomous vehicles (SDAVs), the tech giants who are largely based in that infidel hotspot Silicon Valley, California.

A spokesperson for the Caliphate told us:

SDAVs are Islamophobic because they will put millions of Muslim cab drivers out of work all over the world. Not only that they will also destroy many local Muslim businesses making nodding dogs, furry dice, in-car air fresheners and those beaded seat cover thingies.

If Silicon Valley continues to develop these Satanic devices then like Salman Rushdie, they will be sorry!

A Russian hacker informed FNN:

SDAVs are inherently insecure so actually the Caliphate could make use of them as 4-person suicide bombs that could create havoc in downtown San Jose crashing into the Apple HQ donut and so on.

BTW - I have just finished interfering with Brexit and the US elections so I am now available for work.

A spokesperson for Uber explained:

This is a fallacy. SADVs do not put drivers out of work as a human "controller" is always needed. A bit like with a drone strike, which we are evaluating whether to add to our driverless service offering. 

A yob from the UK commented:

Mate. I'm looking forward to using SADVs as automated ram-raiders so I can crash them through a newsagent's window all from the comfort of my sofa using my Playstation controller. Is that what they call "sofology"?

Salman Rushdie was unavailable for comment as he is still in hiding to avoid being pestered by women addicted to victim-sex.
