They also have to remember where roadwork is/was and what kind of traffic is best/worst at a given time. There's a fantastic Tom Scott video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z…

For us in Australia it's uncontrolled right turns, and it is absolutely infuriating that many journeys would be temporally shorter if the route waited longer for the turn at an int…

>As a consumer, the last things I want in an interface are to a) be sycophantic enough to lessen my judgment This is EXACTLY what people like/are addicted to about chatbots. My sis…
