Thanks for posting this. Its good to see people with a completely different mindset showing alternative solutions can work, sometimes better than the original.
I live in the EU, but we still have serious car brain problem on the roads. Still not enough cycle paths.
Fun story: I made the exact same joke when someone was showing me a Japanese digital bidet toilet in a bathroom showroom. Turns out I was not the first one pointing this out, the guy told me with pokerface that most of these toilets have a sensor and the wash function only activates when it detects someone sitting on it. Also the nozzle retracts and its not exposed during toilet use and its disinfected with hot water automatically, so probably the water coming from it is just as clean as directly from the tap.

Just watched the first part of the modern Poirot movies with the Oriont Express and the main character had the most badass mustache, I could barely pay attention to the story when he was on the screen
