But still, this is way too much, but people don't seem to worry about that.
They're scared of terrorism (we've had less than 20 fatalities within the last
10 years), murder and manslaughter (300 fatalities per year) or plance crashes
(probably less than 100 fatalities within the last 20 years over Germany).

And I don't think it's just people forgetting to take their pills or taking the
wrong ones or at the wrong time or something like that, because building a
machine telling you when to take which pill would be so much easier than
building self-driving cars, yet still there seems to be no market for that,
either.
