Description
Like members of the Class Rhynchonellata, it is possible that members of this genus were blind.[3] They were also likely stationary suspension feeders, relying upon ocean currents to obtain food.[3][4]

gollark: I think you can detect children and balls without massively advanced "AI" stuff now.
gollark: As long as they can automatically drive through big urban centers, and they can get cities on board, it would probably do the job.
gollark: Instead of trying to make them work *everywhere*, and having massively overspecced batteries for most journeys.
gollark: I think a much better approach for self-driving cars would just be to have rentable self-driving short-range electric cars in big cities and stuff, which would use only whitelisted roads where you can make sure to apply necessary standardization and add whatever infrastructure is needed.
gollark: Lots of personal data, or at least stuff you could derive personal data *from*, too.
