Isn't it always? "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety," --Benjamin Franklin

No. "passively monitoring the performance of a driver of a motor vehicle to accurately identify whether that driver may be impaired" was their stated purpose. All cars, and it would have started next year. Edit: Something regarding alcohol impairment detection systems did get passed, just...

If you just can't get enough of reading about things you probably already know, read on. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/this-bezos-backed-ev-startup-is-betting-youll-pay-extra-stereo-your-petite-2025-07-28/ It's a pretty good overview in their Business section. Here are...

Honda's privacy agreement is on topic. Ad hominem back-and-forth ("you're paranoid!") belongs somewhere else.

Again: It's not about guilt (i.e. reversing the burden of proof), it's about a fundamental human right. What I'm doing is none of your business, which is exactly the point. My behavior would be really boring for a Central Scrutinizer to watch, but I don't want them to watch it regardless...

What I'm wondering abut are things like Honda's privacy agreement posted by @Adam W in another thread.

Framing privacy as something only needed by the guilty misrepresents privacy's purpose. Privacy is not about hiding wrongdoing, rather it's about protecting individual rights and dignity. It's also about preventing potential abuse of power. Bottom Line: The "if you're not doing anything...

Enjoying living in The Land Of The Free where I can have privacy and not be monitored by Central Scrutinizers.

[Serious question. Not trying to be a smart alec here.] Can't you just look down at the dash? I can determine my golf cart's available remaining range by looking at the 5-bar meter. My 18-year-old Ford tells me how many remaining miles of fuel are in the tank. I navigate with a map and my...

My guess: by rail. Rail is a far more efficient, as well as more environmentally-friendly option for transporting light vehicles compared to trucks.

Good catch! It also shows the ghost of a little two-way speaker sharing the center panel with the display unit.

I hope this won't derail the thread into politics. My intent is just to show that there will be creepy mandates unless we pay attention and stop that from happening. A proposed piece of federal legislation aimed at mandating driver-facing cameras in vehicles was introduced in the United States...

GIGO is as old as data processing itself. Garbage In, Garbage Out There are certainly times AI results aren't trustworthy. This isn't one of them. Especially if multiple places provide the same answer. That said, always "Trust, But Verify".

He explains a lot in there. Here are notes from the first few minutes: They're laser-focused on delivering a "radically affordable, radically customizable truck that can also be an SUV" Your reservation is a place in the line. Being electric might be the least interesting about it. They're...

Rich enough to deserve its own thread.

I don't know much about vehicle telemetry other that I think it has become pervasive and it's creepy. In addition to the State Truck's unique "bring your own screen" feature, the Truck apparently doesn't Phone Home and tell the company what you've been doing with your vehicle. There's probably...

Exactly.

Indeed she did. That's encouraging.

I didn't find the ADOT info helpful, so I found easier sources. Mostly my reply to you was for helping people (in any state) find the information faster and easier than I did. Just get an AI bot (or two, or three) to tell you what your new vehicle license and registration cost will be in your...
