It might become much harder to speed without getting a ticket in the future.
Surveillance State totalitarianism blah blah blah I know:
You’re wielding a deadly weapon with the kinetic energy of a small bomb in a public space. You should be forced to obey the rules by any means necessary. Fuck your freedom: speeding endangers everyone!
Fuck you
The problem is not the very idea of a method of control, the problem is who wields this one. This will abbsolutely be one more tool in the arsenal used to track and suppress people like anti-genocide protestors, pro-choice advocates, and -once Amazon or whoever inevitably buys access- labor union organizers.
Let’s be real, neither companies or government in the US (but I repeat myself) cares about human life, they just let over a million people die in a preventable and still ongoing pandemic to keep profits up. Nothing they have ever done has been motivated by concern for human life, this is a public control measure with a water-thin coat of fake civic responsibility painted on to justify it.
If you’re driving to your protests you’re already an idiot.
Fuck speeders. I don’t care about the surveillance considerations for licensed vehicles on public shared roads.
Speed cams everywhere would be my preferred solution.
Negative votes for essentially just saying people should drive safely and have that be enforced with technology. Gotta love it
Libertarians and Anarchists I assume. An unholy alliance.
Governments exist to enforce rules.
Speed limits are the closest thing to a universally good rule you can imagine but “Big gubbmint bad” means that people gut react to it and throw a fit.
I kinda expected it but felt it needed saying: fuck speeders.
Eh, they patent everything they can think of these days.
Doesn’t mean they’re gonna use it, they just want paid if anyone else wants to use it.
50 ohm resistor shunting the antenna goes brrr
What about the secret antenna?
When is Chrysler going to detect and report drunk drivers?
How about we don’t encourage corporations to spy on us and treat us like criminals? How about we don’t root for a fuckin dystopian surveillance State? That would be great. Sheesh
Right after they figure out how to detect and report the drunk engineers that design their shit suspension and transmissions
Fuck this. I guess I’m never buying a Ford. That’s a shame too, because the Mustang looks fun.
In totalitarian badcountry, every device you own reports your activities to the enforcers, who can come kill you or throw you into prison slavery at their whim.
based
Ah yes Ford, the car company that for the last 2 decades has consistently made the least reliable and shitty vehicles on the road. Well I certainly won’t be buying from them NOW 🙄

Wake me up when someone jailbreaks the thing and sells them as an aftermarket car mod that lets me aim it at any driver I’m pissed off at and broadcast a falsified report of their vehicle driving 90mph.
I get a “fuck you!” button, and the legal system gets a shit storm that eventually renders the tech inadmissable. Win win!!
