I've worked in admin/IT at a courier company for almost 20 years and most of the time we resisted showing this, even though the technology was there. Driver's almost always have multiple deliveries on board, and you cannot show a recipient the other locations a driver might have to stop at before the recipients location and when we provided the live tracking, this would constantly lead to complaints about when the customer perceived the arrival time should be. As delivery time predictions have improved, we are now more comfortable in showing this kind of tracking, as we can include a progress bar and ETA. However, personally I feel it's outdated now, as we can send a notification, either when you're the next drop or when we estimate the driver is X minutes away - I prefer that over watching a map.

The current plan where I live, is to chuck the bicycles on the footpath with pedestrians.

Thanks OP, you have hit peak shitpost

".... and respect others." If they actually did that, might not be as much of an issue.

Ok

Mostly just old age gets me now, but as a child I was known for being accident prone (also called poor decision making). My two crowning glories would have to be:

1. Had a small toy basketball ring that I'd stuck to the full height windows in the lounge room. Stepped up on the window sill for the dunk (in socks) slipped and put my knee through the window - the glass only went in to my knee a few centimetres and I lucked out with only needing about 8 stitches.

2. My brother and I wanted to see how far we could stretch an old tennis trainer, literally a heavy weight attached by elastic to a tennis ball, turns out it was quite far. My brother let go of the tennis ball when I wasn't ready and it hit me square in the eye. That put me in hospital for a week or so with a detached retina, thankfully I was doing enough that it reattached itself, though wearing a patch for a few more weeks was not fun.

Too late, boomers already bought it all and are renting it out

I don't think it's about not wanting to hear it, more so about the language used, that feels overboard. I feel it's a combination of a car industry regulator in need of updating their terminology and news outlets looking to make everything sound sensational - the end result leaving you feel like you've been mislead about what's actually going on.

We call them dickhead lights here, because they indicate someone is being (or about to be) a dickhead
