There are as many different love stories as there are couples, but this one has a unique transportation angle.

Editorial Note

I try to avoid linking to articles which are AI generated. It’s sometimes difficult to tell, but for example one story I ran across today showed two cars on supposed “intelligent travel” routes about to hit head-on. If the editorial control allows a photo such as that to get through, I don’t trust the content of their articles. I understand AI may be used as a tool, but when it is used as the primary device to create an article or photo, I do not have faith that it is accurate.
