So maybe 2001: A Space Odyssey's Hal wasn't the best role model for Tesla's Sentry Mode.
As the "all seeing, all knowing" computer running the spacecraft Discovery on its expedition to Jupiter, HAL becomes convinced that only he can carry out the mission's objectives, and devises a way to eliminate the human crew. HAL nearly succeeds, but crewman Dave Bowman manages to reenter the ship and deactivate HAL's higher memory functions. As HAL is loosing his mind:
HAL: I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
Dave Bowman: Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.
HAL: It's called "Daisy."
[sings while slowing down]
Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage.
But you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two.
The actual sequence of events and dialog vary between Arthur C. Clark's novel and Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation, even though Clark worked with Kubrick on the film. The song is actually titled "Daisy Bell", and this is only the chorus. But, we'll cut HAL some slack, as he is loosing his mind.
(This post from a teenage sci-fi nerd, who probably never grew up - and now owns a Tesla Model 3 - the closest thing to a spaceship available to the average person.)
