Generally speaking, Apple doesn't follow trends, it sets them.
Perhaps in some cases, but they were not first to market with MP3 players or phones. They just watched the early attempts and did them better. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple watches the AI market, picks a few winning approaches and makes appropriate acquisitions out of the rubble.

The obvious question to ask is the extent to which road noise correlates with and is associated with other characteristics such as poverty and poverty-associated health effects.
A valid point, to be sure. But this preschool is located within spitting distance of Bill Gates' house. So, not a poor neighborhood.

Start with eliminating them from areas populated by people who don't eat beef, don't wear leather products and have a high incidence of lactose intolerance.
See how well that idea goes over. Then come after my hamburger.
