I hated event Pokémon with a passion growing up. I bought my game boy on the US, but I would live half of the year in a country neglected by Nintendo, once back on the states for the working season (my parents) you could only get them by traveling somewhere stupid like New York (I lived in the other coast). Even when they started using mall wifi on game stores as events I still always associated it with a life I would never have and didn’t even bother as I could never legitimately complete a Pokédex so why try to start now. I can see how that would work in Japan perhaps, but maybe the country kids felt left out as well.

That is such a bad take. You will want an AtomicLong to at least be able to measure the damage. This is not a black and white (true or false) situation!

Even if humans can drive with just vision:

1. Human vision has superb dynamic range, auto focus and other features that cameras thousands of dollars could only dream of (for most).
2. I don’t want self driving cars to drive like humans. Humans make too many mistakes and are prone to bad decisions (see the need for safety systems in the first place).
3. Train and bus transport is better for most people. Driving is a luxury, we’ve forced people that should not be driving to do so in order to keep a job and barely survive.
