 Someone added text suggesting this comic was inspired by the stickers on the bomber's vehicle.  Then someone else deleted that text because the comic had been posted before the bomber was arrested so Randall could not have known about the bomber's vehicle.

 : I agree the comic is about bumper stickers which use "first person" wording taken literally as being the cars themselves talking.  However as we hear and see more about self driving cars, and get closer to mythical artificial intelligence, the day may come when this joke about literality could cease to be a joke.
