I've driven a manual once - in a parking lot. Most of my driving has been in an automatic. I agree with this. I should have to press the "go" pedal to go, not just release the "stop" pedal. Thankfully, I now have an EV where I can choose to have it stop when I release the "go" pedal and not go again until I press the "go" pedal.
I use that combination of hardware and Sleep as Android so it starts with just the watch (no noise in the beginning) then escalates to nose and requires me to scan a QR code in the kitchen to fully dismiss.
What was the motivation? It's easy to say "antisemitism" but like if that was the case - why here instead of a synagogue? And why did they put in minimum effort, accomplish nothing, and quit? It doesn't make sense.
I'm in favor of using carbon-free energy sources to power plants that do carbon capture and manufacturer fuel from the captured carbon. This on top of using carbon-free energy sources for our other energy needs would lead to carbon in the atmosphere being reduced, at least temporarily.
That being said, I suspect those have even worse scalability.
