Amazon accuses customer of racism & shuts down their smart home!

Infraviolet:
Smart, perhaps best considered as an acronym for "Surveillance, Monitoring And Repression Technologies", although I think that backronym could be reworded to emphasise the vendor-lock-in nature of "smart" devices as well.

Very good point.

I reckon they could learn to predict, but it'd take a lot of smashes to get as good as us :)

Anyone claiming cars gaining more safety features hasn't resulted in a reduction in fatalities is mistaken. In the US, the number of road deaths per mile has been in decline, since the widespread adoption of the automobile.

They are already better than human drivers.  Well, technically, "they" are autopilots combined with human monitors, but according to the argument, the more the car does, the less the human will do.  So... fatality rates are already lower with the autopilot technology. 

Job done!
