Quartz Composer has been deprecated for years now and Origami is now a standalone piece of software.
However something that does happen in the Netherlands is that kids get taught to pay attention and look around before opening the door of a car, no matter what hand you use. This is something my parents kept insisting over and over. Obviously only anecdotal but I expect this to be the real reason accidents like this are minimal. Combined with having a cycling culture and safer infrastructure where often the cycle lane is separated from parking spaces by some distance to make this impossible.
Say what now?
Close to zero progress in electrifying European produced cars. I would say unions are the cause for the delay resisting any change away from skills their members have, but obsoleted by electric cars with 1/10 the number of parts required.
Those tree planting drone companies probably require software engineering.

‘What is "one plus five"? It is the wood construction, "stick-built" urban mixed-use building, exactly five stories tall, erected on a concrete podium. The first level capped by the concrete deck is retail, parking, meeting rooms or amenities and the floors above it are apartments, condos, or dormitories erected under the 3A construction type classification of the building model code IBC.’
According to the comments below currently the only way to notice a malicious but signed app would be updating an existing version from the play store. That requires access to the play store and installing an app from there first.
Allowing random 3rd parties to publish high profile apps stolen from the Play store seems a very bad idea. Especially if the OS doesn’t check apk signature against that same play store.
That doesn't make it legal or safe. Re-distributing copyrighted material is questionable even in Portugal.
But more importantly there's no guarantee the app binary was not modified and repackaged to include malicious code.
Note all the high profile apps like Google Photos, Nest, WhatsApp, Instagram? None of these have been uploaded by Google, FB, etc. These could easily have been modified to include additional malicious code to steal your personal data.
None of this is mentioned of course in the press. But it seems like this company mainly survives on copyright infringement and serving malicious apps.
