I've been buying refurbished iPads for myself and others for several years now and I'm still using a refurbished iPhone 6S Plus with no plans to upgrade to the 7, 8, or X at this time. It's not because I can't afford them or don't love Apple - it's about price vs. benefit.

Uh-oh. There's that "foray" word again.

Wow. Was Sony's design inspiration the $20 As-Seen-On-TV MSX 30X available at the local pharmacy?

If it ran iOS, I might be interested. And, the flip-phones were much nicer than the slide ones. I can't remember what brand/model I had around 2000 anymore, but I loved that thing in terms of ergonomics of a phone.

I think it's the Motorola Razr.

The Motorola Razr didn't go on sale until 2004. I had a matte black one until 2007 when I bought my first iPhone. I LOVED MY RAZR. Most of my friends had them. My mom had a pink one and dad had a blue one.

Such simpler times.

Now, apply this whole scenario to self-driving cars. Welcome to the future!
Tesla semi, suddenly decides to veer through the downtown street-market.... etc. Oops, a glitch.

Lucky IF the crashed Drone did not damage any panels. One thing is the cost of Not getting your drone back. The other more costly matter, would be the bill to repair/replace, a damaged panel/property.

Or, one wonders how much harm one of these would do it if hit a person.

Compare the number of drone crashes resulting from failure of the aircraft to those resulting from the pilot flying the drone into something.

Now, apply this to self-driving cars. Sure, there will be failures, injuries, and deaths, but I'll bet the number of crashes resulting from human error will be far greater.

Self-driving cars don't fall asleep, drive under the influence of drugs and alcohol, faint due to medical conditions, text, eat, talk, apply makeup, try to beat red lights, speed, or turn around swatting unruly children (or spouses) in the back seat like human drivers do.
