It's rather ironic that a company so high-tech it's looking hard at self-driving cars and asteroid mining has trouble implementing a calendar, a technology that's been around for thousands of years...
It's almost as if a company is comprised of thousands of individual minds and abilities and priorities instead of one laser focused brilliance.
You've made a good point. It's not as if built-in Android apps aren't important to Google, or they don't have a release process. I think heads will roll over this.
just people they are so technical savvy doesn't mean they don't make mistakes. tests aren't perfect. you can't spend every day to write all corner cases. i don't consider that as ironic. i consider it as normal. users are so willing to help the software moving. that's the spirit of android software being open-source. we can find such small bug quickly and the engineers can fix this bug soon.
The cars crash sometimes too. Software has bugs.
Have they? I thought the only crash was when a person in a car crashed into the back of one? (pretty sure the self-driving car was being driven by a person at that point too).
That statement will almost certainly be true at some point, but thus far my understanding is Google's self-driving cars have not caused an accident yet.
