There's a captcha for fire hydrants which we don't have in the UK either
Yes, American fire hydrants are very different from NZ ones too. Ours are under a yellow steel panel flush with the ground, so not something self-driving cars need to identify.

Let Googles AI solve Googles CAPTCHAs for you! "Buster: Captcha Solver for Humans" is one of my top 3 browser extensions.
So we have "Buster: Captcha Solver for Humans", "uBlock Origin" and what is the last one?

Yes, but , when taken out of context, you have no idea if you're looking at a state abbreviation or a country abbreviation. AL can be Alabama or Albania, AZ can be Arizona or Azerbaijan, DE could be Germany or Delaware, etc. Just under half of US state abbreviations are "unique" (as in, not also used for some country in the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard). Personally I'm mostly annoyed by the concept of states when fill…
Even worse: sometimes they do ask "state" and have a dropdown list of American states. If you live in another country that does have states, you're SOL. Why would your dropdown still have those when I selected a different country?
Dear Apple, can you test your products outside California?
I just left my laptop for 10 minutes on the balcony because I had to get a delivery. Because I'm not in California, the temperature on said balcony is 3 Celsius. Yes, I'm not american and I don't understand Fahrenheit.
Guess what, when I came back the laptop was shutdown and wouldn't start until i brought it indoors. After only 10 minutes in the cold.
Please test your famous benchmark breaking M1 laptops outside your climate controlled clean offices. Use them outside at the north border, near the great lakes. See if the keyboard still works after a month and if they turn on if you try to use them on your front porch.
Don't get me started on how infuriating Google's ReCaptchas are on Tor Browser. Buster captcha solver fails immediately. And when you do actually manually solve the captcha correctly, sometimes Google still thinks you're a robot. And sometimes it asks me to select all "bicycles" in the images and there are NO GODDAMN BICYCLES in any of the images whatsover. So I hit Skip and eventually google thinks I'm a robot. Ever…

But then how do you shoot comedic car chase scenes in movies?

Why not? I would suppose it's forbidden to park over these, so identifying them makes sense.
Honestly, I'm not that bothered. I think most of these users are high-pain users so dropping them is okay if ultimately it lets the website operator offer a service to me cheaper. Sure, some are unfairly blocked, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Google's CAPTCHA is a cancer of the internet. We're all training their AI without any renumeration. I genuinely hope that some government figures out how to sue them. I've sat down for minutes, repeating CAPTCHAs over and over again, just to log in to an account or download something.
This. This is not said enough. Everything you do with a Google service is used to train their AI. I don't want to train their AI.
