Perhaps in the future cars will not only record your face but also listen in for hate speech. Most cars have SOS and GPS modules so calling the police if someone in the car shouts a slur is just connecting some code together.

Hey, at least they can feel secure in the knowledge that they're not contributing to global warming by using AC and instead dropping dead by the thousands.

I wait for mandated methane sensor in everyone's anus.

Didn't Biden's big infrastructure bill already mandate NHTSA to develop regulations to require driver monitoring sensors starting next year? Or was that provision cut or reverted?

Cars sold for the past years already record and transmit all your movements and telemetry, I'm sad to say.

Honestly, it is mostly a reaction to how society has evolved, for the worse. Rock and hard place.

The worst thing I have to hide is knowledge about my intentions, none of which are bad/illegal/immoral.

Scan away, I'd rather try to protect my children, other children from unscrupulous characters.
