I will never forget the Allstate app refusing to let me use Google Maps to find the hospital when my wife was nonresponsive.
Idiots who interfere with the normal operation of someone else's devices need to be locked up.
- Amezarak 3y agoI hope it all came out well. I can understand the frustration. But many, many more people are killed by distracted drivers on their phones. At least there’s things you can do to control or ameliorate situations like that. You can learn where the local hospitals are. You can use android auto or CarPlay. You can call 911. You can’t control the guy running a red because he’s on his phone and he’s much much more common. This is a minimally intrusive intervention on devices that already do all sorts of things to “interfere with normal operation” that would save thousands of lives for in the 99.99999% of other cases a minor inconvenience to everyone else. A return to the year 2005.
