There's a captcha for fire hydrants which we don't have in the UK either
- mkl 6y agoYes, 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.
- StavrosK 6y agoBut then how do you shoot comedic car chase scenes in movies?
- mkl 6y agoOh, we manage! Here's one the length of the country: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082464/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082464/
- mschuster91 6y ago> Ours are under a yellow steel panel flush with the ground, so not something self-driving cars need to identify. Why not? I would suppose it's forbidden to park over these, so identifying them makes sense.
- mkl 6y agoTrue. Many are not in places you park though, as they're out in the road or on the footpath or grass verge.
- bregma 6y agoHow are those not places you park? They'll even usually leave you a nice parking invoice under your windshield wiper when you do.
- ChrisRR 6y agoIn the UK, the panels are in the pavement or grass, not in the road
- ben_w 6y agoFor Americans, in the UK “pavement” means “sidewalk”, and not “any paved surface”.
- ben_w 6y agoU.K. firefighters connect to something similar, but they are unpainted metal panels on the ground, and while there are ways to distinguish them from the other ground-level utility access covers (and nearby signs) nobody bothered to teach them to me either in school or during driving lessons.

- freakynit 6y agoThanks GTA. A lot of the captchas I'm able to complete, you are the reason :)
- thrwyoilarticle 6y agoWe do. They're the graves for H from Steps.
