I can’t. I just can’t.
This is so dystopian
The federal government promises this surveillance saves 9,000-10,000 lives annually.
What happens when it doesn’t. Is their a provision to end the program if it doesnt make certain targeted goals? No? Of course not! That would be data driven legislation.
That’s also a pathetically low number given the size of the population.
In the US alone, over 3 million people die every year. That means even by their most wildly optimistic, straight-from-the-ass estimates, it will only reduce deaths by 0.3%.
Does that sound worth it to you to give up your freedom?
That’s not how many car deaths per year, in the us it is in the 40,000 range for the last several years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_vehicle_fatality_rate_in_U.S._by_year
Not sure where three million came from.
the reasons i want to get a motorcycle just keep adding up. everything about cars keeps getting ruined
“If the AI determines you’re impaired (blood alcohol ≥0.08% or showing fatigue), it can prevent ignition startup or limit vehicle speed”
So if I the driver is injured, or distraught over an injured passenger, the car will limit how fast they can get to a hospital?
Reckon this needs a little more time in the thinking through phase of the process.
Modern are having our right of repair taken away to not just spyware.
1998 Toyota Carola for the win, easy to fix, and no spyware, and just works.
Even more of a reason to keep my cars from the 80s
Already exist in Australia and these systems are total garbage that keep warning non stop.
