One of these devices kills Anna’s child instead of a woodpecker, as told through a series of footnotes from a scientific paper on these devices, in the Sarah Gailey story “STET”. Some of these devices gang up to murder Raymond Gellhorn at the end of an Asimov story that unusually ignores the three laws; (-5[1])in that story, Jake Folkers runs a farm that takes care of “retired” kinds of these devices, including one he names Sally. Six (-5[1])survivors hole up in a diner as these devices outside try to kill them in a story from the collection Night Shift that was adapted into the only film directed by (*) Stephen King. John Carpenter directed another Stephen King adaptation about a killer one of these devices (10[1])named Christine. (-5[1])For 10 points, name these devices that, in real life, use Lidar (“LYE-dar”) technology to avoid (10[1])accidents. ■END■ (10[3])
