This keeps getting buried by the algos, but I see this requirement as a real problem. Unreliable tech that stops your car if it thinks you're not driving right... and already current implementations have lots of false positive actions. Yeah, nope. This won't go well.

This is the worst timeline. Tech could have set us all free; instead its returning us to feudalism.

I get nauseated reading about these developments

lol like when I rented a Penske truck that had lane departure that kept malfunctioning.

Kept thinking I was on the road besides the freeway and slamming the brakes because I was over the speed limit.

The federal government promises this surveillance saves 9,000-10,000 lives annually.

Wikipedia says roughly 42k people died of car related injuries in 2022.

So, the government is promising that this brand new technology that has not had any field testing whatsoever is going to reduce car related deaths by 23%?

They're lucky theres no way to sue over a broken promise.

Here's a great way to reduce car deaths to near 0%

functional public transit.

God we're so fucked...

Hoping it can be defeated with a strategically placed piece of tape

real REASON, is surveilling the actual passenger itself for any "Radical elements"

Joke's on them, I can't afford a new car

So used car prices will be going up, then.

Ofcourse this would happen. Every EV car has a sort-kind-of-black-box and a gps. So every car knows exactely what speed it is allowed to drive on the roads. In the future - when you have an accident - the insurrance company can investigate the black box of your car and see immediately what speed you were driving on that particular gps-point. With your mobile phone connected to the car, it can also see immediately who was driving the car, etc... It was written in the stars many years ago.

Always a good time to pick up biking. And warm clothes for cold nights.

And this is just one of three reasons why I will never own a vehicle manufactured after 2006.

Everyone thinks they're a great driver... but I know that even when I'm exhausted, I will signal 90% more turns than these clowns I'm forced to share the road with.

Joke's on them, I can't afford a new car

(Wouldn't buy one if I could)

mandatory in the banana republic shithole.
So who cares?

This technology will just prove what we already know. Most people shouldn't be driving. Bring on the trains and buses!

Nooo, you're a conspiracy theorist and a tinfoil hat that needs to touch grass.

hope more people realize this BS

Jesus fucking christ. Could the fascist corporate dictatorship be any more obvious?

Once everyone's okay with 24/7 surveillance in public, they'll be installing cameras in every room of your home to ensure "private" compliance.

Use a bicycle and be free.

And yet ultra-moron turbofascists will point to public transit and bikeable neighborhoods as “digital prisons”.

when I was 16 I knew I didn't want to drive one day. didn't end up saving for a car like all my classmates and friends. now look who's laughing, not them because the car will think they're drunk if they do.

Don’t buy those foreign-made EVs cause the big bad boogeymen China and Russia are gonna scoop up all your freedom data.

/s

Meanwhile, the simplest switch is ignored: when you turn on your windshield wipers while not in Park or your emergency brake is not engaged, your headlights should come on as well. Such an easy piece of legislation, and nowhere near as expensive for consumers as this BS will be.

It'll be interesting to learn about defeating this tech. Also, the used car market is going to go nuts.
