Technology

If this comes to Canada I'll be driving an electric scooter or bike.

This sort of bullshit is why I am happy to ride a bike.

guess its time to buy the 1995 ford then?

Well now see, now I'm at a cross roads. On the one hand, fuck privacy violations.

On the other hand, fuck drunk drivers.

I guess in the end, my logic is that this will barely be used to detect drunk drivers, and FULLY used to track you in real time.

So lets all fuck over their technology by making nothing but right turns for 8 hours. Just a massive small circle. For 8 hours, every day.

Then it will be assumed their tracking is broken, and they'll waste time figuring out whats broken.

If we all do this, every day, in electric vehicles powered by solar chargers, then we'll save the world!

A team of Australian scientists have cooked up a new AI-driven camera system that can detect whether you are too drunk to drive a vehicle.

But the project isn’t quite ready for wide use with only 75 percent accuracy, according to the researchers out of Edith Cowan University in Western Australia, who had presented this camera project at a computer vision conference earlier this year.

Should be interesting.

I assume the NHTSA will pay for it? Good luck, fuckers.

So this works perfectly and has no bugs, right? There's probably going to be millions of false positives everyday and people won't be able to use their cars. Between this and AI age verification and everything else, the dumbass politicians in power seem to think all this shit is magical wizardry. Their going to cause society to collapse.

I worked on this a bit. Some of the tricks they had were changing the AC to blow colder air when drowsiness was detected, increasing the blower speed, increasing brightness on the dashboard, and turning the volume up or turning the radio on. They even had turning the radio on and selecting music to combat drowsiness. So I guess you'd get sleepy and then your car would automatically started blasting house music.

So I'll have reduced millage/charge and extra weight for carrying around this surveillance technology for the government and whose sole benefit will be the government?

Will I be compensated for this burden? No?

Would I be penalized for removing it from my car on my own?

What happens if it "breaks"? Will I be expected to fork over my own money to repair/replace the government's surveilance device? Logically speaking, burdening the car's operating with a regulatory requirement like this could constitute a taking. Then again, it could be a logical extension of Congress's taxing and spending power, but it probably isn't without a strict mandate from Congress to have those devices. Maybe it goes to Congress's powers to regulate interstate commerce.

Chinese EVs it is, nonIronically safer and more trustworthy than American products

Drivers in tatters.

I'll just walk outside where there's no surveillance.
