It is sending whatever the Google programmers want it to. Your conversations. Your data. Whatever they decide. And they can update it at any time to change whatever they want it to send to them. And you paid $99.
Not using that as an excuse, but Apple also does NOT pay workers $2/hour. They're using manufacturers who pay their workers $2/hour. There's also the problem of talking about hourly rates in foreign countries in US dollars.
I know it doesn't change anything for the workers in the end, but let's assign the blame where it belongs. Twisting facts is not a good way to debate subjects.
Last time you bought something, did you check if everyone involved was being treated fairly? Are you responsible for all the production steps that happens when you buy anything?
Let's say you buy some Oreo cookies: - where did all the ingredients come from? Was there any people or animals harmed? What about harm to the land itself? - how was the packaging manufactured? Which method was used to procure the oil used to make the plastic packaging? Was it harmful to the environment? - how much polution was produced to make the cookies, the packaging, transport it between the supplier and the warehouse, then the warehouse to the grocery store where you shop? And when you drove there to buy them and bring them back to your house?
Say what you want, but even if Apple are trying, they're only working via contracts with manufacturers. They can ask of them to adhere to certain standards, but the fact is that everything costs money. That's capitalism at work.
Retina requires a GPU that's four times faster which in turn requires four times as much more power. They'd be wise to stick to a lower resolution display for the battery life alone. Going from 1440×900 TN to 1680×1050 IPS would increase the battery requirement by a bit, but not as much as retina.
The news is that ten years later, the MacBook Air still exists and is only slightly different than the first model. It went from a Core 2 Duo to a dual-core i5/i7, the RAM from 2GB, to 4GB and finally to 8GB. The USB 2 port was upgraded to two USB3 ports, the TN display increased in resolution but is still a TN display which is a shame in 2018 for the price Apple are asking.
Apple should upgrade the CPU to the latest generation, swap the display for a regular TFT with a 1080p resolution and drop the price in half.

Why is this on Slashdot?
You heard sad_, everyone! Let's all switch to the Atmel ATmega328p!
Indeed, why does it have to be cars? It's not like a pizza is a huge item that weights a lot either.
Pizza delivery by drones? Much better solution IMHO. Bypasses all the traffic, goes in a straight line to the customer.
First, you'd need to have a vegan pizza on the menu - and I'm not talking about vegetables as topping. Probably won't happen before another decade.
Second, you'd need to open a Domino's Pizza in my small town of 10K people. Never going to happen.
Third, autonomous cars are a lie from the industrial military complex controlled by the covfefe flat earthers.

Not me! I bought it on sale for only $79!
Do you boycott 99% of all electronic products? Because they're almost ALL made in China.
Capitalism does not mean caring about abuses.
Capitalism means getting something for the lowest possible cost.
That's exactly what's happening here.

Do they really use vegan sugar, though?

Remove the soul and you'll sell millions of those boxes.
I think the main reason why english became so popular world-wide is because it's one of the easiest language to learn.
You mean like when we say things like despite the constant negative press covfefe, Trump is still popular?

Ripple probably already has patents on whatever they're trying to patent here.
What can I say. That's fucked up.
What if it's the short-term solution? Robots remotely operated by humans?
And if you're able to game-ify the job, you'll get people paying you to do your work!
I'd listen to pop music from the 1970's any time. The pop music of today? Bleh.

I think it's "if you drink pop rocks and coke at the same time, tell me where you got your liquified pop rocks".
I never read an article suggesting doing such a thing in Nature.
They're selling 10K cars per month, but how many are they actually making every month?
