When Stevie Wonder asked, through an intermediary, if he could take a ride in Cedric the Entertainer's Tesla, Cedric said yes, of course, he told Conan O'Brien on Monday's Conan. But after a very fast spin around the block, Wonder had another request: "This is so cool, you should let me drive." That's where Cedric drew the line, as would any owner of a fancy automobile with a blind passenger: "Stevie, Stevie, the car's electric, not magic." Presumably he will be more generous with his first self-driving sedan. —Peter Weber
