Philosophy of Bond? Should this be in the philosophy of the arts section maybe? The enduring appeal of familiar tropes or something?

Yikes! This isn’t just a matter of toys, but a matter of technology that shouldn’t be implemented without further consideration of its consequences.WanderingGaze22 wrote: ↑September 22nd, 2021, 3:54 am In honor of the new James Bond film, No Time to Die, Aston Martin worked alongside a toy company to create a kid-sized version of the legendary DB5 car, bond's signature vehicle. Able to go up to 45 miles an hour, the electric powered car comes with many of the gadgets any spy should have such as interchangeable license plates, smokescreen mufflers, even gatling guns (without live ammunition of course). Thinking about this, I have looked back on how far we have come technology-wise and so far as I know, there is no toy as intricate and accurate as this one. Makes me wonder what really goes on when the think tanks are analyzing what we as consumers would want in a product. However, this seems rather interesting and concerning at the same time. If working headlights can be switched out for weapons with a push of a button, what would the industry who makes these come up with next. Click the link below and think about how far the toy business has come for interactivity.

What’s to stop a spoiled brat rich kid from careening down a public roadway at 45mph with a disregard for the safety of himself, pedestrians and car drivers—the stern voice of his nanny?
