Yup, drunkards in a tram are annoying but they almost never kill people and cause tens of thousands in damage.

Only drive cars made before Onstar and similar systems were added in the early 90s. They have been tracking you for a long time. But even then you need a license plate, which is constantly collected in most urban areas, stored and sold. It's really impossible to travel anywhere even if you have no phone giving away your location. Flock and all the surveillance systems also tie into the license plate data. Cars began having cell connections and other ways to broadcast data after the onstar type systems were added. Now it's a whole other world with the amount of data cars like Tesla can collect. /OldManRant

Another system to allow hackers into your automobile. The federal government could use the biometric data from car for passport photos. On the other hand, I despise drivers under the influence.

Every technology is eventually used against you by the state

It's so difficult to get excited about new tech anymore.

[–] DisgruntledGorillaGang@reddthat.com 10 points 9 hours ago

Big tech is the problem. Indie tech is still cool as shit.

I am driving my 2018 car which doesn’t even have auto stop start until it dies.
