Of course, the deluxe model would communicate with your car to see if there was an umbrella there already.

Then when you get to work, the car would check to see if there was an umbrella in your office.

If not, it would lock you in your car until you took your umbrella with you....

Yep, that's the logical thing for a umbrella to do, in case of communicating with your car. I'm starting to get funny looks from my toothbrush too. better be prepared. Only go out when sunny, and stop brushing those teeth, it will only wear them down. You only have to look to your elders to see the truth in this..
