Gifts for the truly cromulent ‘Simpsons’ fan

It’s that time of year again. You’re permitted to huddle up on the couch — roast beast from Whoville in one hand, a moose-shaped mug of eggnog in the other — and watch a whole bunch of movies you saw at this exact time last year.
From The Santa Clause to Home Alone and The Grinch to Jingle All the Way, these movies are the ones you know back to front. You probably routinely quote them out loud, to the detriment of your relationships.

We get it — it seems like every company is promising self-driving cars any day now, but where are they?
Sure, some Cruise Chevy Bolt cars and Waymo minivans are awkwardly test-driving around cities like San Francisco and Phoenix, but our driverless future still seems impossibly far away. You want to be napping, watching Netflix, and sipping on an evening cocktail while your car drives you home after a long day at work.
While we wait on the robots to completely take the wheel, here are some gift ideas that will at least help make it feel like you’re driving into the future. Nothing can match true autonomy, but for the driver on your gift list who dreams of a robot car, these gifts can make her feel like her ride is at least getting smarter. Read more…
