So how many of the 22% increase in fatalities are from vehicles traveling over 80 MPH? How many fatalities are there from people driving over 80? Is there statistics someplace to see?

The only reason the EU wants this is to break the security framework of iOS that they sooo much hate. The rule simply makes it easier to install their surveillance software.

sure, now we have millions of Mac equivalents around the world with users running as admin secured with 6 digit passcodes.

If only taxes were spent on the things you mention. There was a time that that was the case. But today the majority of taxes go to entitlements.

How much tax do you pay?

Disintermediation for the win!

Or an example of long-ago enshittification?

Line 1: Enter how much money you have.
Line 2: Where is this money?
Line 3: No need to send it to us, we shall just take it.

Misinformation is nothing new. The responsibility for vetting the information you consume is with you. Yeah, yeah, I know... you're competent to make a distinction... BUT THOSE OTHER PEOPLE...!

I'm not sure that's a great analogy. In the case of the horse, the owner can reasonably be expected to exercise control of the horse such that he can prevent it from behaving in a way that horses are known to behave.

In the case of the car, it's not under the owner's control, and software bugs produce unpredictable behavior. They aren't known in advance, and they can't be.

In the case of injury or property damage I can see suing the manufacturer for liability, but attaching a punishment to an equipment malfunction sounds rather pointless, unless negligence on the part of the manufacturer can be demonstrated.

I suppose as a practical legal matter it would play out that the injured party would sue the owner (or his insurance company), and the insurance company would in turn sue the manufacturer. That's frequently how accidents caused by mechanical failure are handled now.

I'm not sure about that. Catching shoplifters doesn't generate any revenue. Traffic tickets do.

I'm not entirely sure what the point is. It's not like owner has control over the car, so what is he being punished for? And how do you punish a car?

It's already illegal to use IQ tests (with some exceptions). That's why employers used to use degrees as a proxy, although recently they seem to be getting cautious about that, too.

The object of the game is to make sure the employer has no objective data by which politically preferred people can be disqualified.
