It might become much harder to speed without getting a ticket in the future.

    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.

    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!!

    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!

      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.

    Ah yes Ford, the car company that for the last 2 decades has consistently made the shittiest, least reliable vehicles on the road. Well I certainly won’t be buying from them NOW 🙄
