Simpsons did it.

Why did they decide to let EA and DICE develop it in the first place?

Yes, logic says the Diesel in the excavator would have worked great in a truck..that's out of Diesel. I guess siphoning gas wouldn't have looked as cool on Youtube...

So are elevators heavy machinery?

Good question, but the answer is likely that since this technology, once widely adopted, will undoubtedly result in a major drop in highway MVA related morbidity/mortality, it should allow users to hand off pretty much all driving/navigating responsibilities to the computer/central computer system. Then we can all…

L u m o s i t y — Luminosity is something else entirely. (iOS link is correct; Android link goes somewhere else.)
