Science doesn't explain things, it's just a framework to help with discovering the validity or invalidity of an idea. If you can't find a way to test something, you can't really apply science to it.

Many religious people depart from science the moment it begins to conflict with their own insane views of how the world (and the universe) works. Some religious people feel that there is no contradiction between science and religion, and rationalize it as science discovering God's rules. Honestly I don't have a problem with this, since we don't really know who (if anyone) made the rules.

Atheists tend to like science because it's grounded in fact, and isn't bound to blind faith which I find is also reasonable. Religion has never really proven itself to be anything other than a source of control over people's lives and its value is at best, questionable.

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.

Comment Not unreasonable. (Score 1) 215

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.

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.
