    Well, yes. When you include the 10/13ths of the Earth's span where there was no life at all, I guess your calculations would yield 'very very tiny'.

    Titanium, glass, shaped stone and gold artifacts to name a few things not bio. Also an abundance of human bones. The 'dominant species' will be present with the chickens (bigger, heavier bones).

    Drop something in central US. Please tell me where it's going to subduct.

    Horribly wrong assumption. Under your very feet you can find traces of things that age and older. The Ozark Plateau is the remains of this contenent from 2500->541 mya (pre Cambrian). Not even close to subduction. And the traces we find of living things from that era are just bio-smudges. So, I think human civilization remains will be circa +252M and beyond. And, since we have a crap-load of fossils from 541–485.4 mya (Cambrian), your assumption fails on just our bones. One more grain of salt, we make glass and glass preserves really, really well.

    Same logic and evidence that kills all the earlier high-tech civilizations bullshit.

    Linux kernel submissions require your real name, which tends to reveal your gender.

    You're an AC. As such, nothing you say about your job/career means anything. At least use a moniker so people can review your past posts and determine if you're leg-yanking.

    Some like Tesla just stop in the middle of the road, others keep going on the assumption that it's better not to park in the fast lane of the motorway.

    The car was a Tesla. It didn't stop in the middle of the road. The police "convinced" it to.

    You forgot a very major difference: "Autopilot" car makers promote the idea that car is autonomous, other car makers do not. The number of sleeping drivers in the first case will greatly exceed the number in the second. A second difference is that the police effectively steered and stopped the car, not the "autopilot".
