Color-changing cars have #PublicSafety implications

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/08/check-out-bmws-new-color-changing-concept-car-the-i-vision-dee.html

Imagine a #police #alert to be on the lookout for a thief/arsonist/rapist/murderer fleeing in a purple #car, then the car changes to green

It's easier to see the #color of #cars than #LicensePlates when things are #moving quickly

Should this #technology be banned specifically for #automobiles for the #PublicGood?

Seems like #capitalism pursuing the wrong goal again

The party of #violence observes the anniversary of #JAN6 the only way it knows how

In the US alone, what happens to #climate haven states once the #ClimateEmergency is over & reversed, & normal climate is restored, after those states spent lots of money & effort in prep for a mass influx of #ClimateMigrants from, e.g., the desert southwest & disappearing coastal areas?

Will people just then return to, e.g., AZ from MI, saying "hey thanks for letting me crash on your couch"?

#Christianity didn't reach consensus on when to celebrate birth of JC until centuries after his alleged life, so how hard would it be NOW to adjust #Christmas date to fall outside of deadly #blizzard season (in both northern & southern hemispheres), so people don't feel a need to undertake #holiday #travel when it can impede the movement of snow plows & emergency responders, w/ abandoned cars & cadavers, during driving bans no less?

How long will it be before #LucidMotors, #Rivian, maybe even a post-#Musk version of #Tesla form a #merger, as now they're just another automaker competing with the likes of #GM, #Stellantis, #Toyota et al. to make & sell #electric cars, no longer being unique in that space?

We've already seen #ICE brands disappear as the #automotive industry has consolidated over the last century, so now that #EV's are no longer an exception, but becoming the regulated norm, will all the startups merge soon?

Counterintuitively, #Mastodon "advanced" UI seems to be best way to keep the "regular" THREE column layout —
why's it called TWO cols in docs?
— when zooming page to +170% AND using #Firefox sidebar

W/O using advanced mode the #responsive compose / search left col disappears, while search lacks right nav col menu entry

On 1920x1080 res laptop the default #font is tiny for ppl w/ #PoorEyesight

Wish default option was more like this screenshot or a TRUE 2-col layout @Gargron

Would be amazing if #Earth had only one #human #language & #alphabet, to eliminate any needless #barriers to clear, #frictionless #global #communication, so that w/ this problem gone, we could get on w/ everything ELSE it delays

#Culture is an artificial, #irrational construct holding #humanity back for no #benefit at times

Language is foremost for #essential, #utilitarian comms, not for validating #emotional #tribal #identity via #division

Seek #diversity in #nonessential realms instead

Sometimes I notice on #Mastodon that if you #reply or #mention another account, these are not consistently hyperlinked, regardless of whether those accounts are on another instance or whether the fully-qualified account name (including instance) is used

What am I doing wrong?
