That sounds like dedicated bus lanes, except you don’t need the higher speed limits since avoiding traffic takes care of the need to speed.
Now we just wait until some tech bro picks up the idea and resells it with AI in the name at 10x the cost to tax payers.
We’d appreciate “don’t be a dickwad” at this point.
The sad part is that I put my phone down for a minute to do some chores. Picked it up and for a second thought this was a different article about a different narcissistic clown that is currently on the news a lot as well based on the comment.
It is scary easy to leave a shared variable by a novice programmer or to misunderstand caching and cache collisions by the same group. It is part of learning, the scary part is that most profit driven companies see it as cost of doing business and have them on the front lines of production code. In order to push out code faster and cheaper QA and unit testing suffers and the consumers are the ones that end up with the highest risk.
Some companies reputations do get affected to the point it affects business or partnerships (see Wyze cameras and their removed recommendations from tech sites) but something needs to change and regulation is light on fines for companies doing this over and over (along with data breaches).
Looking at the road, it might be to make a call on which road to repair/patch in the near future based on usage if the budget doesn’t allow repairing all (it never does).

You don’t need it to be on the appliance itself. Hook a power metering smart outlet and you can tell. Or a shake sensor. Or an open door sensor. Combine them all for a reliable effective way to tell if it’s done and the door has been opened, all for a much lower price than what those “smart” appliances charge the premium for. This way you can also choose vendors that work on local wifi/zigbee/z wave and don’t own a paper weight or part functional item the moment the vendor decides to shutdown the servers.
I guess my point is that they would similarly get people to their destination quicker if implemented. The main difference is that one is fully proven and exists already with current technology.
