Humans have problems turning left too. The chances of having an accident while turning left are ten times higher than turning right, in US.
Try not to make this a Google car "thing"
Minor nitpick. Be fair. Turning left is a "buggy" issue even for human drivers. As per statistics, accidents happening due to left turns are 10 times more than accidents happening while turning right.
1.5 billion are not all criminals, thank you very much. But your racism is showing
Requires just two steps.
1. A certificate or some verifiable evidence issued by an authority proving that you are the legitimate owner of the number
2. Make it legally mandatory for these companies to demand the said proof. Our government is pretty effective at shutting down shops and whatnot operating without proper permissions.
Learn to read properly please. They grant the aforesaid free access to initiatives like The Linux Foundation and OASIS Standards, which in turn will not make a profit on those. You seem to confuse that with a free access being granted to entire corporate world.
In case you didn't know, PM Modi's clever spin is that if his government has put up even a single pole in a whole village, providing electricity to say a govt office there, or put up even several poles but no electric cables on them and so on, in theory the village is "electricity access ready". The argument here being that whenever the lines are actually connected to the power grid, the electricity will be arriving, since "the poles are already installed".

The current ruling party has apparently learned that hiring social media IT teams tha spam social media with lies and exaggerations and feel-good promises is a good way of scoring votes, instead of needing to do any actual development work.
Guilty as accused, at least up to a point.
However, it is certainly not conjecture that most large retail outfits are actually multi-nationals. Which, by and large, centralise their IT, purchase and logistics operations across countries to some degree. It is also pretty much both logical and normal that said multi-nationals routinely store and analyse data about customer behaviour.
Do you really think that the likes of Rewe and Tesco would bother to exempt Belgium from these analyses?
Considering that Belgium happens to be in Europe, and the considerable penalty for breaching European privacy laws, I would say yes, they would bother to exempt Belgium, since the cost of not doing so can potentially be HUGE, if caught.
>>What are you talking about? Please cite your sources. Millions of miles testing? Data would show accidents?

Only an idiot would think that a public accident involving a driverless car could be kept hidden. Hell, it would make global headlines.
Looks like you are arguing from a bias. First, your demand that there should be zero accidents is an idiotic one. Statistics and tests have already proven that there are less number of accidents with automated cars.
Secondly, your pulled-out-of-your-ass argument about dropping safety standards seems to never happened to say flights, or industrial machinery. You put people's lives at risk, your product doesn't sells and you get sued too. Hell of a dis-incentive.
All the argument about being unable to stop a lump of metal travelling at 100kph in 0 time is the most moronic thing I have heard. Do you have some special telekinetic powers to be able to do this, if you had manual control?
The key thing you are missing is that the software is not getting distracted while texting, is not going to be drunken driving and is not going to get into a drag race with others on the road. Its 100% focus is on avoiding collisions while getting you where you want to go.
So just like you argue that civilian innocents casualties are unavoidable in war, consider abortions, unavoidable civilian innocent casualties of life. Happy to put things in perspective for you.
If unborn are sacred due to innocence and not committing any sins, same applies for chicken, turkeys and buffaloes. So what did you have for thanksgiving?
The only basic logic you have is an arbitrary once that makes sense to you alone. It is called hypocrisy.
Let us see if one of these others suit your tastes, lazy idiot.

Newsflash. If you don't create problems for yourself in the first place, there will be no need for imperfect solutions.
Here is a prime example of your "foreign policy"
You idiots are the one who financed the Taliban, Osama bin-laden, and this brought upon 911 on yourself, and indirectly causing the rise of ISIS. The bottom half of this 1998 interview is the proof of that.
I think the common sense would simply dictate that what you want to do is just say that in xyz season/months, the workday will start later.
I am not sure why you need to indulge in all this circus of changing the clock, and pretending that time is something other than it actually is.
Just declare that your work day will start at 10 AM instead of 9 AM during summers, and stop driving the rest of the world insane with these calculations needed to know what time you are pretending to be at, this time of the year, just so that we can do business with you.
I mean this IS what you are doing anyways in reality, from our perspective. Going to office an hour later, in summers.
Work continues in this area. -- DEC's SPR-Answering-Automaton
