Comment on a techie website about Google's plans to develop self-driving cars:
What a genius plan! Take the drivers' eyes off the road so that they can watch the ads Google put all over the windshield and the windows with *argumented* reality. The car will automatically drive to the advertiser's place if the driver chooses to. However the car may also make up its own mind from time to time if the advertiser pays enough.

Gives us whole new ideas about 'argumenting' reality...
