If the edges of the screen are further from your eyes than the center, the content and text doesn't appear at the same size. If you wear glasses, the edges might even fall out of focus unless you physically move closer.
It's basically a failure of setting up the proper response playbook.
Instead of:
1. AI detects gun on surveillance
2. Dispatch armed police to location
It should be:
1. AI detects gun on surveillance
2. Human reviews the pictures and verifies the threat
3. Dispatch armed police to location
I think the latter version is likely what already took place in this incident, and it was actually a human that also mistook a bag of Doritos for a gun.
But that version of the story is not as interesting, I guess.
With per-per-minute sharing cars having existed in many cities in Europe 10+ years, this concept is not new.
People will adapt to the level of cleanliness in the car the get into, so it's a slippery slope. Users will behave respectfully in the early days (maybe because they are first-movers), and then it deteriorates long term.
My own experience is that people used to not even leave an empty soda bottle in the cars and now I see remains from take-out in the floor, coffee cups, chewing gum left around the dashboard etc. You can report this to the car service, but they won't be able to take any meaningful action on it.
