    “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.

    yesterday on a police chase livestream on YouTube the cops tried to shut down a car that was running from them by calling the company. They got a spike strip before they could get it worked out but even hearing that it’s an option is absolutely dystopian

    here’s the vod btw

      is absolutely dystopian

      Esp because they could already use, you know… a spike strip!

      It feels kinda like targeted v dragnet surviilance debate. Targeted feels OK if you get a warrant from a judge, use the legal procedures. But dragnet makes for a dystopia. Similar here. I don’t want a global ability for some centralized db to flip a bit and stop any body’s car across the world. Or, worst case, hacked and stops EVERYBODYs car at once.

    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.

    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.
