    Me and my buddies on the way to read Irvine Welsh out loud to each other inside one of those just so we get kidnapped and accused of transporting drugs and then we sue the company and the police department.

      Gas is so damn expensive, but anyting from this millenium is trash.

        We’re not saying they were in the right, we’re saying that if your car can film/record you and automatically sends reports to the authorities about suspected illegal activity then that’s surveillance state type shit. There’s always a balancing act between freedom and safety but this compromises too much freedom

    No, this time a car stopped people from using the car to do violent crime. Surveillance and cars are both bad, but this one’s a win.

      Is it though? Yeah, of course, the entire argument to justify intrusive surveillance is that it will catch people. The fact that it did doesn’t invalidate the intrusive surveillance.

      Next, all you have to do to force everyone to submit to surveillance is price cars so most people can’t afford them and they have to use the surveillance mobile instead. After that you have to be rich to afford privacy.
