US Fed Gov't wants all cars to TALK to each other reported on NBC Nightly News | |
SalvioDiTuna  User ID: 70410763  United States12/13/2016 08:46 PM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Saw this on NBC news tonight. I knew it was coming. [link to www.nbcnews.com] When I looked it up online, I also found this article on freedom of thought... [link to thefreethoughtproject.com] On the news, they talked about how every fifteen minutes here in the United States someone dies in a car crash. They talked up the safety of the future, and how lives would be saved. BULLSHIT. I was driving in Denver last week, hit black ice, and slid into another car. Couldn't steer, couldn't brake. Sorry, wifi won't help that. This is a blatant attempt to control. If cars can talk to each other, that means they can be accessed externally. I *guarantee* you this will include kill switch software. I also saw that they want to be able to keep tracking your speed and location at all times. Fuck you, FED, fuck you.  |

Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory. Through victory, my chains are broken. The Force shall free me. Or something |

Quoting: DARTH SILIOUS You know, I hear you. But, as a software/database engineer, sorry. I'll stop driving. Honestly, if you believe this is a purely benevolent act on the part of the Gov't acting in our best interest... Well, you probably believe that electronic voting systems are not rigged, too. Got news for you..... You're an idiot.  |

Hilarity will ensue. Lester Holt will report the breaking story with a couple of black eyes from the airbag deploying. |

It's the same as the desire to develop self driving cars. Peace is a lie, there is only passion. Through passion, I gain strength. Through strength, I gain power. Through power, I gain victory.

It's the same as the desire to develop self driving cars. Quoting: DARTH SILIOUS First step is to lock down the ECU, TCU and other devices on the vehicle's local bus. BMW is leading the way with cheerleading from the other auto manufacturers to make it illegal for you to play with your own vehicle. We're already seeing 'assistive' technologies such as automatic braking and parallel parking, lane drift and blind spot warnings. Shoot, I get annoyed with cars that have a 'low traction' idiot light on the dash board and disable seat belt chimes. |
