She pressed her thumb to the scanplate as the positive siunding chime went off indicting the acceptance of her print. She opened the door and made her way thru the short entry hall to living area of her downtown apartment as the automated lights came on.
She was still in some mild discomfort and was on medication for the pain, fortunately her car had the self-driving AI modifications updated so she was able to take the newly constructed overpass and not have to sit in extra traffic through the detour. Before the update was available her car wouldnt even recognize the new route and she was still too medicated to operate the vehicle manually, especially she hadn’t driven a car herself since her sophomore year of highschool almost twenty years ago. She was thankful she got the email about the update 2 days before the operation. It was one less thing to have to worry about and she wouldnt have to ask her assistant to take her to and from the hospital. That would lead to questions, questions she wasnt ready to answer.
