Don't crash into anything while moving from point A to point B is a fairly unambiguous goal which computers should be able to handle, even if the details in reality are fairly complicated. Only kill bad people is not the same thing at all.

We have some limited recycling in San Diego, but it doesn't create potable water. Most of our waste water is treated and discharged into the ocean.

Pull out credit card, it won't swipe because the magnetic strip is worn out
Try to pull out credit card, it's not there because you forgot your wallet
Pull out credit card, complete transaction while a skimmer steals your card info

No technology is perfect, you're just making up improbable things to be critical of here. If you don't have any legitimate argument against using mobile payments don't waste our time with this nonsense.
