<blockquote><a href="#273958"><em>In reply to JG1170:</em></a></blockquote><p>I think you under estimate the average iPhone user. Also, Google is the one with 80%+ of marketshare so I think their users are better described as average moth-breathers. But whatever makes you feel better about what you use.</p>

<blockquote><a href="#272960"><em>In reply to Jules_Wombat:</em></a></blockquote><p>It seems when self-driving cars come up our minds turn to jello. They should be treated as complex hardware/software systems with the same probability for bugs as any other system except that the harmful consequences are much more severe. What is needed is a thorough testing and approval process similar to what medical devices are required to adhere to because they are equally dangerous.</p>

<p>That new system navigation looks like the iPhone X gestures. Just sayin.</p><p><br></p><p>The Google keynote was kind of boring, but not as bad as the 2 day bore-fest that Build turned out to be.</p>

<blockquote><a href="#273692"><em>In reply to mariusmuntensky:</em></a></blockquote><p>Sorry for the late reply but you really made me laugh out loud. "Google showed actual useful stuff for which they are committed, delivered when ready, not early, half baked and full of bugs" Have you ever used Google stuff in your life ?? Committed ? They abandon more services/products than anyone. Not early, half baked and full of bugs ? Everything they release is early, half baked and full of bugs. Google = BETA period.</p>

<p>What? Medhi, you don't even mention Google Duplex. Duplex is huge. Not only does it embarrass Cortana but sets it back 5 years.</p>
