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!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ooh that's gonna get your car keyed.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

You have a strange way of writing molotov cocktailled.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yet another reason I will never own a ford vehicle.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Other than the fact that they only make expensive monster trucks now.

Want to do any work on your f150?

Step 1: Remove the entire cab

I'm never buying a newer car.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The thing with new cars is that they turn into old cars.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

It looks like this system is designed to snitch on the other cars around the snitch car, rather than the snitch car itself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I'd rather that too.

If I have to buy a "new" car someday, I'm cutting off every antenna I see.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's why we need right to repair

And a corporate death penalty, if I had my druthers.
