You could do a study in other countries and compare the results. They have the same gadgets, but not the increased hoods on their cars. Once you corrected for the gadget distraction, you will still find higher casualty rates.

By your thinking, airlines ought to be allowed to operate using experimental aircraft and stock aircraft that are not properly maintained. It's one thing for an inventor to be reckless and kill himself. It's another when you take paying customers.

There was little opportunity to prevent Stockton Rush from operating an unsafe vessel outside of a totalitarian environment we wouldn't want. However, when you start offering rides to paying customers, things change. That should and can be regulated. It is hard to hide. Furthermore, Rush fired staff who pointed out the problems. A better whistleblower system might have made their voices heard.

You don't need government approval for each trip in your car. That's a major difference between what China is requiring for drones and US driving laws.

Differently than common belief, the EV market in Europe is dominated by domestic companies like Volkswagen, Stellantis and Renault, with Tesla and Hyundai/Kia thrown in. Chinese manufactures recently reached a new high with 4.5 percent EV market share. And EV itself is about 25% of total market share. There is not much experience with Chinese EVs so far.

Yeah, for even two hundo, I'd be considering buying this as a fun accessory.

For five hundo? Nope.

If the problem was being genetically dead, then why do we have demand for sperm and egg donations? Both are a warrant for at least one of the parents not to have the genes procreated. Same with adoptions. Apparently, feeling to be a parent is not directly linked with actual genetics. And so I doubt any claim that childless people are inherently unhappy because their genes are not carried on.

The console wars are a never ending cycle of the disruptor becoming the complacent king, and the complacent king being dethroned and needing to become the disruptor.

It was not "coal in your face".

Here, we have to differentiate two things. First, what you can trust, and here i agree with you. And second, what you can claim. And just because I should not believe you in the first place, does not give you the right to claim false things about someone else.

You are still guilty of libel, and as the court decided, the false claims were not in the links, but hallucinated by the AI. And because Google coded the AI and operated the AI, its products are products of Google, and Google can not claim that they are just reporting about libelous claims as they could have argued with unredacted search results, they just linked to.

Apple has not the size to forego 400 million potential customers. And they can still sell iPhones without Siri in Europe. Hence, the shareholders will pressure Apple management to realize the revenue, even if that means not installing Siri on the devices.

Besides that, many companies operating in both North America and Europe want the same mobile devices on both sides of the pond, to streamline roll-out and control processes for the devices, and if they decided for Apple in the U.S., they will try to strong-arm Apple into selling law-compliant devices in Europe, by threatening to look for alternatives for North America too, so they can avoid doubling their IT structures.

I don't claim any different.

As I have used an EV, I can safely confirm it causes less pain.

The ICE industry seems to be full of lies. Every proponent will tell you internal combustion engine is the best thing in the world, but they won't tell you the pain they go through just to go on a trip. Then they tell you the flying car is coming. Apparently it isn't.

I don't get it. Governments require many things, and most of them are to be bought privately.
