Unfortunately, you're a human. That means you won't always do it properly. And frankly I don't believe anyone with your attitude would actually give it a sufficient safety cushion anyway. The best that we can hope for is that WHEN you fuck up, you're the only one that gets hurt. Unfortunately it rarely goes that cleanly.
Until you make the wrong call, and hit a pedestrian and cause serious injury. Or you force me to swerve in my car, hurting myself- or others. The rules are there for a reason. If you want to go do some extreme sport driving your bike down a mountain or something, feel free. You have the right to do things that risk your own life. You don't have the right to put others in unnecessary risk, which your attitude does.
Great. I'll swear in court I wasn't going 90 in a 30. It's just as likely to be the truth. I'll even write it down and you can give it a fancy name like affidavit.
Not buying it? You shouldn't be buying the company's either. They actually have greater incentive to lie, and lower risk if caught.
In some ways its easier- you don't have the problems of obstructions on the road, heavy traffic, etc. You do still need simple collision detection, but far less than you do on a ground based system.
Good for you. Nobody else gives a shit. I just want my food, I don't care if its cooked by a person, a robot, or if the cow jumps on the grill voluntarily. I don't go to the restaurant for interaction, I go because I don't want to cook. So long as its good, I don't care what prepared it.
Programatically? Use a JobScheduler and its trivial. At a user level? That's what a calendar app is for. You have your choice of several dozen. There's no reason to have to have an app especially for that built in, download it if you want it.
More than that- if you support N platforms on one code base, you're limited to the lowest common denominator of the three code bases.
And even when you try it like web programming, you end up with N variants or compatibility libraries everywhere to fix bugs/implementation differences/lagging support.
Wow, you didn't even make it to one. Yup, proved my point- even the people complaining about the number of regulations have failed to come up with a single unneeded one.
I'll accept your apology and admission they were all necessary, thanks.
You forgot the best reason not to arm teachers- in all the world, who do you think most wants to murder some of those little monsters? The guy who's forced to spend 8 hours a day with them. All you need is for him to snap once.
I'm saying the vast majority of them are, although you may find a few that aren't. SInce you're so certain that they aren't, you should have no problem finding say 100 of them that aren't. And by aren't necessary, it means that nobody was performing that action beforehand nso that a regulation was necessary to prevent it, or that the action itself is not harmful. I'll wait.
Won't hold my breath though. I doubt you could actually find 5. Your type never can, you just like whining.
No it isn't. That's due to the market. Malls are built because they can charge rent. Developers build downtown stores because they can charge rent- high rent. You don't see warehouses downtown because the owners can make more money tearing them down and building other things. There is absolutely 0 to do with regulations here. Its all supply and demand of the real estate market. And it is a FUCKING HUGE cost of running brick and mortar stores.
Then I'm going to shoot you. Because there's no restrictions on what I can do with my gun. I don't have to restrict what I do with your property, I'm just using mine. If you don't like it, either you have to restrict what I can do with mine, or get very good at dodging bullets. Even the idea that I can't do anything to your property with mine is a restriction on mine. Sorry you're too stupid to understand basic logic.
Women who wear clothing without pockets wear purses which hold things and thus don't need to have it on their wrist in an almost unusable form. Thus there's still almost 0 market there. And as proof- the majority of existing smart watch users are not women, whereas they would be if you had something within a mile of being a valid point.
Because that market is so close to 0 as to be non-existent. And the fact that most smart watches still need a phone to be useful. But I'm sure there's literally hundreds of people buying it for this reason.

I'll be using this quote the next time I argue why cycling should be banned in cities. Thanks!
Seeing how insane cyclists tend to be, I'd be all for that. The most dangerous drivers on the road in the city are the bikers.
Does anyone actually believe that?

They only fly out. Haven't you seen the movies?

A car suddenly slowing to a crawl (or worse stopping) can be a dangerous situation in and of itself with other motorists.
Who says humans have to plug it in? See the Tesla snake.
In any modern city with suburbs, that will basically mean 40 minutes out minimum.
The reputation of a random company nobody has ever heard of before? Yeah, not downloading that shit.
Neither is this. Its "walk to the pickup point", "wait for the other riders", "get dropped off after stopping for the other riders to get let off"
Still waiting for even one. I mean, if the majority of them aren't needed, you'd think you could name one off the top of your head.
They always have done this. The produce is called XT9. They've been in that business for 15ish years.
