Comment Less Glue Please (Score 3, Insightful) 342

If this means that manufacturers will be encouraged to use screws instead of glue then it's a win for the planet.

Apple and others - please stop gluing your fucking products together. I would rather buy displays i can fix, than thinner displays. I am keeping my computers for far longer than i used to, and need easy upgrade paths for internal components. why is this so hard to grasp for some?

What's more likely? That the camera system malfunctions, or that a driver misses or misinterprets what is in his side view mirror?

i think likeliness would variable, depending on the design and external protection of the camera, time of day, road conditions, road and weather debris blocking the camera's view.

Equally important to consider is the redundancies each system furnishes; with most cars i can shoulder check and look around my glass-enclosed cabinif my mirrors are fogged or blocked by snow. otoh, if they start designing the cabin, side and rear visibility around a camera, i no longer have this backup visual system to rely on as the all-seeing camera (when it's working at least) doesn't care about 10% tint, huge B and C pillars, and tiny portholes for windows.
