I don't want a phone that "just works". I want a phone I can play with and tweak to my preferences. Windows phony and iOS are too locked down and the former has no sepcialist apps anyway. I prefer Android, rooted of course with my privecy protected by XPosed and XPrivacy. If I need a phone that "just works" I buy a $11 Samsung burner phone. Much cheaper.

"Then again, somebody has to go first."

No, why? What's so bad about FM that it needs replacing? And even if you replace it, why would you do it with a dead standard that has failed to become popular when it might have mattered, and is now outdated already? If you want digital, use 3G/4G; if you just want radio, analoge FM is the best there is.

" The second, another driver decided to use the right lane as a passing lane in a 4 lane road, driving 55 while everyone else is going 35, denying anyone in the left lanes the ability to change lanes and make a right turn. Let me repeat, that was just today."

You call that risky behaviour? Go drive in Paris, Rome, Manilla or Shanghai and then we'll talk again.

"If a child and a dog run out into the street at the same time from opposite sides, do you trust the car to make the right decision as to which it will run over?"

I like dogs and cats even more, I want that setting to be user-configurable. Bad luck for the child that has broken loose of its necklace.

Not to mention in the US: if the car has no choice hiting one of 2 persons, one black and one white, which choice will it make? I want that to be a user setting too.
