When I'm using BlueCruise, I can't look at a sign beside the road without beeping warning me to keep my eyes on the road. There are few roads where BlueCruise even remains active for long without reverting to "hands-free&quot

Oddly enough, I _was_ serious about this, and it _does_ work. Doesn't have to be too obvious, either, with practice.

It's also an established-company problem, for reals. Some of that stuff you didn't fix when you were small and could still pick your priorities will still be a problem other people will work around for decade or two. That OS you&#

Think about how she navigates her house and ways to help her with that. Would she feel more comfortable with additional rails on stairs, bars in the bathroom? Things like more compartments in her kitchen dresser drawers to help with sorting

The parts that we certainly didn't get wrong were that it did not accomplish any of the technical goals it set for itself, that many of the most admired and successful practitioners were not just criminal but mortifyingly bad at it, an
