Keep it for testing. I don't want my car to be able to call anyone. Ever. For any reason. Notice the @infosec.pub . Trust me it's wildly irresponsible engineering

In the US it's absolutely sending that data out.

if i make an incident, someone will either call the 112 for me or i will do it, unless i am in the fucking land of no one, so the car callin the emergency number is straight up useless

It does not stop the car, don't be silly. It will be reported as a malfunction on the dashboard.

Yeah agreed. Go ride a bike and tell your friend to pull out the chain as you pass em and see how badly you want auto breaking on a bike lmfao. You’ll end up with bikers thrown over their bars or whipped off the side of their bike much much more often if they aren’t in control of it

Detecting phone use is just a tiny part of it. ADDW is about detecting distraction and drowsiness in general but they are also mandating speeding alerts. The car is supposed to monitor the speed limit and alert the driver when he's driver above it. As you can imagine those systems work like shit and beep at you constantly, even when you drive below the speed limit. You also have mandatory lane assist and automated breaking. Nothing is required for bikes. So basically big chunk of fatal accidents are caused by people speeding for fun on country roads, lane splitting and doing other completely unnecessary things and EU is just accepting that.

Motorcyclists are so much more likely to hurt/kill themselves be hurt or killed in any accident, regardless of fault.

I consider it a rather strong incentive to ride safely.

Vast majority of the motorcycle accidents I read about are self inflicted. Just bikers falling down on mountain roads. Yes, majority ride safely but the ones that get into accidents drive like idiots. As I said, most accidents happen on weekends during rides for fun.

But there is no requirement to send that data anywhere
