Why does this video feel like AI? Not trying to cast doubt on the content by any means - fuck car manufactures (and iirc Mercedes is already doing something similar), but the random speeds and weird inflections make this feel like AI slop.
found a 2011 Ford Ranger with 50k miles on her and I will drive this analog truck until I die
No surprise coming from a company that was founded by a nazi and also build most cop cars.
Dystopian. This shit is going to be everywhere.
Glad I don’t have a car anyway :)
Big wins for mass transit between the pointless Iran war, and shit like this that car makers are doing.

Could we not just jailbreak these cars?
It should be possible and easy to jailbreak and set up self hosting solutions for the premium features
They’ll mandate that jail broken cars can’t pass inspection or something like that or if your car stops connecting to your insurance’s servers then they’ll cancel your coverage. Maybe even make it a crime.
And almost all cars in the US have telecommunication infrastructure already to track what you’re saying. Can someone from the US just buy a car from overseas, if they need one, that doesn’t have tracking?
In Canada, we’re allowing the first wave of ~50K Chinese EVs into our market this year, and all you hear is panic about whether we can trust a company beholden to the Chinese government. It’s all just so hypocritical… we’re fine with sharing our most intimate thoughts with western social media, smart phones and cars, but as soon as it’s another country, we should be terrified. Hate none of it or hate all of it.
I mean, what car would that be? I saw a report last year, all 25 manufacturers they looked at were doing this shit. It’s not a US only problem.
More reasons to own a bike, the government can’t do shit!
It cracks me up to see bike companies adding wireless electronic shit to bikes, like, shifting and turn signals. Those bikes will die while my 2008 trek hybrid keeps rolling.
The most advanced electronics on my light with 3 different modes that switch when you press the button.
What if car industry sponsored government doesn’t allow bike lanes?
I wasn’t asking for permission.
You don’t need bike lanes to ride!
You need bike lanes to encourage more people to ride
Not many people are willing to take a lane
Not yet.
Not ever!
As someone who always hated to get stuck behind a bike while driving, I like bike lanes because it means the bikes never get in my way.
I’m opposed to a vehicle that maxes out at 20mph riding in a lane that’s 35mph or above. For safety reasons as well as the inconvenience. I always felt nervous passing bikes on the road, and often the cyclist would look at me like I’m an asshole for it, but ain’t no way I’m going all the way to where I’m going doing half the speed limit, and it’s selfish for someone to think I should just because they chose to take a slower vehicle.
Bike lanes solve this problem. Bikes and cars go different speeds, and each has their own lane so they don’t get in each other’s ways and there are no close calls.
I don’t understand why car people are opposed to bike lanes.
That’s the magic, I then bike off road.
They will
@Korhaka @RockBottom Keep your old bikes in good working order, they’ll probably start requiring tracking devices on new ones soon.
Should be easy enough to remove for regular bikes, ebikes might be a little more annoying.
In time of crisis bikes are THE best transportation mode.
Yeah, canoe or kayak are also good choices. They are basically the bikes of the sea.
Don’t take a canoe or kayak out into blue water. They are really only useful in brown water.
Is there really much need to go more than a few miles from shore though?
“acoustic lip reading”? Reading lips by sound waves wouldn’t they just put a microphone in there?
Most states require two party consent to record audio otherwise it’s wiretapping.
Acoustic ultrasonic distance mapping isn’t counted as wiretapping. They aren’t recording your speech, they’re inferring your speech.
Theres probably sone regulation against actually just recording the conversation…
But they’re doing that too… for “ad monetization”
Ad selection may be local to the device.
Good to see rural truck bros starting to learn what supporting authoritarians will get them.
but it sure isn’t good to see what THEIR actions get ME!
Theyre a little too late, actually a lotta too late

We were due for a new car, but because of all the data garbage wasn’t keen on brand new. My wife found a 2004 car in mint mechanical condition and pristine interior, so went back in time.
Maybe a company somewhere will recognize this emerging market.
There is an EV company that understood and is make a blank Slate truck. I think the initial PR said no radio or navi, just a blank dash. Because people who want nav could add it or use a phone. Drops Costa by staying simple.
For tractor’s someone in Canada has figured it out.
Getting ads for vibe coding on that article is so funny
Does it have a flux capacitor?
How often are americans really in such an emergency? Like, I keep seeing this whole “what are you gonna do when someone invades your home” thing from the gun nuts, and apparently now from the car nuts too.
No one is going to invade your home to murder you. If someone breaks in, they just want your tv!
By watching these lunatics it would seem everyone is constantly getting assaulted by people dead set on murdering them. Seriously; no one gives a shit about you! You’re not that fucking important Rambo. They just want to sell your tv for $30 at a pawn shop.
you have to remember that a lot of people live 30 minutes or more from any emergency response. if I cut my finger off, I’d want to be driven to the hospital asap, not wait for an ambulance that’s not really all that necessary because it’s not a life-threatening condition
Accidents happen in the woods all the time. Could take hours for an ambulance to arrive. You wouldn’t want to wait
