Do you want to bet your life on whether someone found that feature idea exciting enough for a promotion project at work?
Even if the feature works perfectly, were still talking about (hypothetically, as this isn't a real feature yet) automatically summoning a platoon of people with the
de facto legal right to kill you if they send danger which is exactly the reason they were called just because a potentially dangerous noise was heard
- Swizec 6y ago> the de facto legal right to kill you This seems like the bigger problem. Calling the cops shouldn’t be dangerous. It seems to me that if cops were better behaved a feature that automatically calls them when you might need help would be fantastic. Imagine if Google could detect that you’re alone and choking or having a medical emergency. Woule be cool if it could get you help.
- stordoff 6y agoEven if calling them is not dangerous, it seems like it'd have to be extremely reliable to not cause a problem. If a large percentage of people have similar devices, it seems you would have to have a low false positive rate for the police to not be spending an unreasonable amount of time dealing with auto-nuisance calls.
