I too lose control of technology when I'm not looking at what I'm doing or it's already busted. For example I lose control of my Honda 110s throttle because it's got a faulty after market carburator. Doesn't mean the bikes sapient, even if the machine spirit is a drama queen.
I "lose control" of my car when I walk away without parking it. Surely, when it rolls into a school, there is really no one to blame. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Report the misbehaving machine spirit to the omnissiah
It's a Honda from 1984, it's a favorite of the Omnissiah
