Looking at the road; and realizing that your otherwise well-behaved self-driving car is about to do the most obvious mistake and kill you; are two different things.
It's not self driving though... people should stop pretending it is. It's driving assist. Think of it as a slightly better lane-keep and adaptive cruise control (which often require intervention in stock configuration).
Adaptive cruise control will detect a stopped car and come to a complete stop - but only sometimes. Might depend on speed difference or even the color or shape of the car or object. So it's very possible that the car stopped in previous situations, and the driver completely expected it would do the same, especially with such a large emergency vehicle with flashing lights. By the time the driver realized the car did not detect the emergency vehicle, it may have been too late.
These systems are unable to detect when intervention is required.
Reminds me of how Alexa was pitched as a tool to get people to buy more things from Amazon, but few people were willing to let it buy anything especially as Amazon's marketplace is filled with alphabet soup products and obvious fakes.
Also for many people, shopping is fun. It's not a chore to be automated away.
The real question is why the younger generations aren't adopting the same behaviors. Is there something special about millennials that they drank more or something special about Gen Z that they drink less?
I wasn't talking about that but yeah, both microblogging platforms, short form content and alcohol make a sponge out of your brain. Alcohol does it physically tho.
The idea that anything important is online seems to be ruining in-person activities. Many of those activities you mention are poorly advertised online and easily drowned out by advertising / ragebait / influencer slop. My local food court has a trivia night but the most prominent advertising for it is at the food court itself with posters.
Pretty weird how little they use the physical keyboard in the demo. I'd expect for at least their own apps / launcher, you could navigate with WASD. Instead, they're switching between tabs by clicking on the very top of the screen while the phone is on a table, which is very much not one-handed mode.
This used to bother me, but I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt and assuming they are used to working with remote people in all time zones and it's actually a check to see if I'm present. If I don't respond, they'll try someone else and get an answer faster.
The calling analogy doesn't work because the person on the other side of the phone had to pick up and is present. The "hello" is more like leaving a voicemail saying "If you're there, pick up, but you don't need to call back".
I don’t disagree with that, but that doesn’t change the fact that overstay fees currently do exist on some EV chargers, e.g. Tesla chargers. I’d also not like to regress and have to wait that extra 5 minutes if possible since I don’t have to currently do that - plug in, leave the car and by the time I’m finished eating (20 mins) it’s ready.
It is also expected that you move your car immediately after filling (then paying) an ICE, in my country at least. Sometimes this can mean people waiting a few extra minutes for them to move their car while they go in to pay.
I think it's a chicken-and-egg problem: chargers have overstay fees because charging times can be very long and it's expected that people will plug in and then leave to do something else. If charging times were extremely short (five minutes), then this expectation would vanish and people would be expected to stay with the car while its charging and then vacate as soon as possible, and then there would be no need for overstay fees.
