[ WP ] It 's 2020 , the last of Google 's Autonomous Vehicles has been shut down after 75 % the Earth 's population was wiped out by a rogue army of intellient cars and robots . You are the last surviving person at Google 's HQ , write the transcript of your broadcast to the world following these events .

*I cough, clearing my throat as I click the broadcast button. Even with all the destroyed infrastructure, the remainder of Earth's population is able to reach YouTube. Just to be safe, I have made sure that it's streaming on all the major sites. * 
 
 I was once just an intern, here. Filling in with some work during the summer, between semesters. That was three years ago. I was all set and ready to go to grad school, set to move on and use my skills to live a life of middle-class, economic struggles. I believe I speak for everybody when I say that I wish I had to deal with rampant unemployment and a broken economy versus living a real life version of *Terminator*- but, nevertheless, I guess luck was n't on our side. 
 
 Nobody really thought it was possible, but, I guess we were **too** good with the world's first, fully-functioning artificial intelligence. I suppose, by design, an AI is capable of transcending the bounds that it is created within. It was meant to allow the network of our autonomous cars the ability to cruise at speeds normal drivers could only do on the world's autobahns and high speed motorways for a bit of time, without wrapping around trees and slamming into each other. 
 
 Unfortunately, the necessary reasoning and learning abilities that made the AI so effective also allowed it to expand itself beyond the base of its design. From there on, it was able to assume control of the military's drone network. It commandeered autonomous construction lines at factories and, with a bit of maneuvering, managed to create drones of all shapes and sizes. 
 
 It took five years to destroy enough of these automatons to push our way to the AI's home server, and destroy the only hardware capable of housing the entity. Now, I find myself speak from the ruins of that location, using the very same uplink the AI used to command its army of networked machines to destroy mankind. The bandwidth it can provide is beyond anything we had created in 2015- we do n't even understand the hardware... but, we can, now. 
 
 The enemy is dead. The storage unit that housed it, destroyed. It has no other form, no other body. With it, the forces that have so destroyed our species are nothing but bits of silicon, plastic and metal, scattered about the land like the products of an overflowed landfill. 
 
 This will never happen again, not so long as any single person remembers the abominations we have suffered- and, somehow, I doubt that's gon na happen any time soon. 
 
 My fellow humans, we have survived a cataclysm. In its wake, we are left with technology beyond our wildest dreams and a lesson learned in the fires of a world that underestimated its potential. We will not make that mistake again- we must unite, and we must rebuild. I urge you all, seek contact with one another. Find survivors. Unite, and we will thrive. 
 
 For anybody in the area, I'm currently at the former Googleplex in Mountain View with a few of my fellow soldiers. We will be here, studying the site, for a bit of time. You're more than welcome to join us. As for the rest of the world, as you all know, we can enjoy the benefit of universal gigabit internet access. And, with that, we will collaborate. And we will grow. 
 
 *I'm running out of cliches. * 
 
 Good luck out there, folks. It's a new world. We will mourn the old one. We will go forward, even stronger.
