Not sure about goverment requirements, but many apps I use nowadays are on the web, Figma, Canva, google docs, outlook and so on. There is not much need for a dedicated OS for most users.

1. If my vehicle can be detached from the convoy, why even attach in the first place. Just get me to my destination as efficiently as possible. Also being dropped a block from your house doesn't really sell it.

2. Aren't AVs suppose to greatly alleviate the traffic problem on existing roads since AVs can/will coordinate efficiently. I'm actually surprised that the loop doesn't operate autonomously and requires drivers

3. Wouldn't flying cars be the ultimate 3D model, as oppose to digging limited tunnels.

I hope they recognize the stete of Assyrians, aramiac/Syriac, Chaldeans, Yizdi and every other indigenous nation in the middle east.

As an Assyrian, my nation has been getting exterminated by Arabs, Turkish and Kurdish colonialist for millennia. We live in constant fear and I don't think we will exist in the next 30 years

Assyrian here, I wouldn't blame the author too much, the journalism on this is certainly lacking.

As our land and people got colonized by turk/Arab/kurdish. Their voice dominates ours a million to one. So you will see them referring to us as Turk/Arab/Kurd Christians in their books and media. Which will lead journalists to such thing is true simply because it's so prevelant

It was only in 2004 Assyrians were recognized in Iraq, before we were Arab or Kurdish Christians.

They still refer to us as Arab or Kurdish Christians, but more commonly, they just simply call us Kuffars

Assyrian here, I agree to most of what you said, however

> appears his mother was in fact from a Jewish family since her father's name was Isaak Halabee

we have many Hormuzd [1][2], but we also have many Isaacs and Davids, I find it a weak argument to deduce that a name dictates religious adherence if said person is coming from the middle east. To me these names are as Arameans/Syriac or Assyrian Christian as they are Jewish, early Christianity takes a lot from Judaism. But such view about the names might not be shared among western Christian.

To reinforce my argument about names, due to cultural suppression, many Assyrians were not allowed to choose Assyrian or even Christian name, so they had to choose a non Islamic Arabic name(some would end up with two name, an Assyrian one and an Arabic one). An outside observer will conclude that we are Arabs, if they don't take into account forced homogenization.

we can't nor do we don't have the power to promote our culture given that we live in constant hell with no hope. we live on a day by day basis.

My nation has and still is under constant suppression and ethic cleansing by the Arab and Kurdish colonialist. I studied under both the Kurdish and Arab regimes, in both Assyrians don't exist, we are Kurd or Arab Christians.

I will let you take a guess if the Jews that lived in the region are mentioned under the Arab and Kurdish media/education system.
