Our problem isn't with cyclists on the road, it's with how cyclists conduct themselves on the road. The real problem is that cyclists seem to think traffic laws don't apply to them and in doing so put everyone else - including themselves - at risk. You should be fined, have your bike confiscated, and be barred from riding if you're *ever* caught disobeying road rules. Especially a failure to signal, which is something cyclists constantly do. It's too bad you're too dense to understand this.
When you start observing traffic laws like every other person in a car or on a motorcycle, you can talk to me. Until then, go fuck yourself. You're a scourge on the roads.
It's not unreasonable to see a prototype, or some work in the direction of the idea you're proposing. It's not unreasonable for people to expect some form of tangible proof that you can do what you claim you can do. This idea that it should be acceptable to place all of the risk on to the customer is ridiculous.
Canada isn't trying to tell you anything. It's just warning Canadians that US cops are corrupt as fuck, and how to reduce the chances something bad could happen to them when travelling in the US.
...except his salary gets paid whether or not they seize your money, so where exactly is the advantage to him unless it's money he receives on top of his salary?
Except it's a factor for everyone else when one of those non-signaling dipshits decides he's faster than my 2000 lbs machine. Bikers slow down traffic because everyone is afraid to be anywhere near them. They're unpredictable, can change direction very quickly, and almost never signal intent. Fuck cyclists.
"I would love that feature on my car, when taking a long drive. It would prevent driving exhaustion."
If you're paying due attention to the road, no it wouldn't. What this does is provide you with a sense of security just false enough that you might *stop* paying attention at the wrong times.
Science is not the answer you arrive at, it's the path you take to get there.
Anything which could potentially educate people must be against moral standards!
Seems to me that all this would do is stop the *open* development of these weapons. Even if everyone agrees not to make them, they will all still be making them.
Jesus christ slashdot, get your shit together.
...we start talking about how disadvantaged women are in tech, and how we need to throw money at the problem or something?
???
Profit!
....it's no shock that we're seeing a whole new form of vendor lock-in.
