Arrive on-site, spend 15-20 mins checking the obvious then tell Joe Bloggs "It's because you've got Windows 10 and use BT broadband". They'll proceed to tell you, in excruciating detail, how their phone/tablet/laptop/neighbour are all fine & then look at you suspiciously whilst impugning your technical ability & parentage! I'm framing this... ;-)
Personally, if I'm going to spend £60k on a motor with a Tesla's performance I'd want to enjoy the experience of driving it myself. Having a 'self-driving' feature that you can't allow to actually control the vehicle is somewhat pointless & it's use in any case is very likely to encourage 'driving without due care & attention' at the very least. For those who want them, we already have fully self-driving cars, they're called taxis - they're even self-cleaning sometimes ;-)
I'm sorry, I've no experience of modern education practices and procedures so please forgive my naivete but: why on earth do parents need to fill out ANY such questionnaires in order to send their offspring to any school? And what educational entity/department could have any legitimate need for said info? And who the hell wants this info in the first place? And who EXACTLY are the mysterious 'School Nursing Team' & who do they report to?
And, and, and... Sad to say, I'm beginning to seriously despise this country & its most un-civil service (RIP our illustrious forefathers).
