"Ain’t no snitches riding with us
Ol mo the mouth n***as could holler the front" - Lil’ Wayne
Why not just have a speed cap on cars?
Edit : I see I got a few dislikes. I was actually genuinely curious. Thanks for the answers!
Ooh yes good patent it so other manufacturers won’t do it. It’s a win-win since I already wouldn’t want a ford
Edit: what it uses cameras to look at other vehicles??? That is much worse
Ooh that’s gonna get your car keyed.
You have a strange way of writing molotov cocktailled.
Sooo how long before we find a way to jailbreak the thing and essentially have an on-board “give that car a ticket” button to report false speed data on any driver we happen to be pissed off at?
…yeah I’d 100% abuse the fuck out of that.
We’ve had the technology for a long time. And speeding really is a contributing factor to motor vehicle accidents and fatalities. If we’re going to have a society that requires being in cars then we need to be a society with severe rules for putting the rest of us in mortal danger.
Make it automatic then, why report a crime when you can limit the speed. Cut out the middle man, also defund the police.
It looks like this system is designed to snitch on the other cars around the snitch car, rather than the snitch car itself.
I’d rather that too.
Yet another reason I will never own a ford vehicle.
Other than the fact that they only make expensive monster trucks now.

If I have to buy a “new” car someday, I’m cutting off every antenna I see.
Unfortunately just like your cell phone we don’t really need external antennas anymore. In a lot of cases there’s not even a wire inside you can easily cut, just traces deep on the board
What I’ve been reading about on that subject is that cars often have a Telematics Control Unit or TCU that can actually be disabled if you can find it. It’s a box that plugs in to the wiring harness. They also have antennas that could be connected by a wire that you could locate, giving us another option to disable them by just disconnecting the antenna wire. That way the TCU could still talk to the main computers but not be able to send out its data.
If it doesn’t have a wire you could always put in a little faraday cage.
Unable to contact servers; boot loop, car won’t start; manufacturer sues you for breaking licensing agreement with unapproved modifications
That’s why we need right to repair
And a corporate death penalty, if I had my druthers.
I’m never buying a newer car.
The thing with new cars is that they turn into old cars.

I feel like you atleast have some wiggle room with electric cars, I cant imagine that it would be too hard to just rip out and replace most of the bs parts. Mostly cause you dont have a massive engine block to deal with, just wires.
