This is a long-solved problem as well. Just use smooth wax plates instead of pre-formed ones. On the smooth pates, the bees can determine the size of the cells themselves, and they will make them smaller. This in turn makes the newborn bees come out of the cells earlier, before the Varroa can infect them. The adult bees then deal with the parasites.

... providing a near-constant stream of information on colony health in real time

What use is this information if we already know that pollution is the problem and that the pollution problem won't be solved?

This only yields an uninteresting sequel to the Spy Hard films: Spy Hard with a Sting

In the first .com bubble, job offerings also promised a car and a mobile (which back then was very expensive) along with an unhealthy big salary, while the companies themselves were not sure what work should actually be done. So some people had a huge salary, but for a short time.

You're not from Europe, are you? The whole Digital Markets Act was made just because the GDPR is not enforced for large enough companies (and frankly, hardly enforced at all). And the GDPR is not enforced because the enforcement is left to agencies that are easily corrupted.

Also, the US has never been GDPR compliant, but the EU has made totally ridiculous deals with the US anyway. The first time such a deal was brought to court, we found out that the Irish Data Protection Agency (the agency set up for the enforcement) had zero law experts and zero IT experts.

, no LIDARs, and no RADARs, and working great.

No they don't. They might work great in ideal weather conditions. In fact, recent documentaries show that lots of European countries really don't like that the Dutch government accepted their "autopilot" system. Because if one EU country accepts a car system, it is automatically accepted in the entire EU.

The lack of serious sensors is one of the things that is seen as dangerous. Other manufacturers do use other sensors, and with good reason.

Also, the Tesla system has caused a quite some accidents where the driving assist function automatically switched off.
