Your point is true and very much valid, and in a way, the predatory programming you mention could be construed indirectly as a tech malfunction. Although just my opinion, I think it's not so much a tech malfunction but a deliberate, concerted effort to dumb down society! :)

Unfortunately, I don't think transportation safety will ever improve because of a host of societal issues, primarily stemming from the destruction of family and faith, and spiraling out of control from there into multiple sub-issues. I don't want to expound at this point because I'll go into full-blown rant mode, and that's something none of us want to see...LOL!

I'll just move on to destroying our astronomical "realities" instead...haha! :)
