Hilarious Colbert Joke

[lame54]

My driverless car won't take me to Taco Bell due to the first law of robotics.

1. Okay I admit it. I'm old. I'm slow. I don't get it.

[OregonBlue]

2. Oh, first law is that they can't harm humans?

3. For those not familiar with Asimov's Laws

The Three Laws of Robotics (often shortened to The Three Laws or known as Asimov's Laws) are a set of rules devised by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov. The rules were introduced in his 1942 short story "Runaround" (included in the 1950 collection I, Robot), although they had been foreshadowed in a few earlier stories. The Three Laws, quoted as being from the "Handbook of Robotics, 56th Edition, 2058 A.D.", are:

First Law – A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law – A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law – A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Frankly I think instructing a driverless car to take you to Taco Bell would violate the Second Law, not the First!
