LHD/RHD swamp doesn't really matter given that the truck is probably too long for UK.

They would still need to swap out headlights anyways.

Not to mention skirts and tails on the trailer do more to improve aerodynamics than truck modifications. Still, every bit counts I guess.

I dunno. I get annoyed just having to unbuckle and get out of my seat for parking tickets that are out of reach.

I can't imagine having to do repeatedly do this while maneuvering a big rig around a stockyard. Or did you mean it was one of the most valid criticisms?

Motivation doesn't matter when the impact is different, even if motivation is the same.

Being blind to race means being blind to acts of racism. It discredits the reality of those who experience race- or gender-based discrimination because the systemic blindness won't acknowledge the differences even exist.

Prejudice still happens even if the aggressors have good motivations or think they're "good" people.

Sure, but Lego didn't have brown and black for POC. The training of expectations isn't exclusive, and more people consumed The Simpsons than Legos.

Equality feels like persecution to those hold all the privileges.

I'm not sure why having different colored emojis has triggered an essay to redefine inclusivity as persecution for some hypothetical "dominant" demographic, but you are proving my point.

By using weak words to avoiding naming the demographic you feel is actually persecuted here, you're turning a blind eye to centuries of prejudicial conflict and injustice - context that defeats your attempt at semantics.

It doesn't matter if the decision was intentional or coincidence, the fact remains the most popular TV cartoon in history has trained our expectations.

Good thing then being inclusive involves all races and genders then, including the dominant one.

It would be pretty terrible if a historically "dominant" demographic felt persecuted because of equal options with emoji colors.

You're being downvoted but you're kinda right.

The longest running cartoon show in history (The Simpsons) uses yellow to represent white people, while POC are brown and black.

Excluding skin color and gender is being blind to prejudice, not fighting it.

Yeah, I didn't have the "it just works" experience. The last iPhone I owned was an iPhone 3s, and an update nearly bricked it by slowing everything down on the phone.

I guess "it just works" as long as you keep upgrading to their latest. That's true with deprecations in every product line, but it's not something I'd pay a premium for, especially when it doesn't exist.

They don't use gyroscopes so I'm not sure I'd say they superseded segweys technologically.

I also would hesitate to say they solve a common problem because the current market glut seems to be trailing a recent hype bubble of electric scooter startups.

Maybe. VR is more chicken-egg, like the Windows phone with apps. The more people with VR headsets, the more VR games get developed, but more people won't get VR headsets until there are more games developed.

It's the segway solution. Cool tech that solves a problem which doesn't really exist.
