Surprised it took this long. Well, guess that means it's time to faraday cage the 5g radios in the vehicles or find a way to create a super small jammer that can only broadcast in your car. Some sort of license plate blocker that only shows at a certain angle too.
Fuck that shit.
And then selling a subscription to turn it off
Ha, you would think so, but from article it seems it'd snitch only on other vehicles. Now, a subscription for reporting a certain 'enemy' vehicle could be way to go. Edit: sneetch
"Sir, your Ford sent half an hour long video of this truck going 85 mph on 65 mph road. I would think you understand why you also got a ticket?"

Interesting. The article suggests the car would photograph others speeding rather than reporting itself.
Personally, I don't mind speeders so much except when they're weaving between traffic recklessly. I do really hate tailgaters though. So a rear-facing camera maybe?

I see Ford wants to produce only cop cars.
This is a weird one. I speed, and so does everyone else, but nobody has the right to speed, and I cant say it necessarily would be bad to have more speeding restrictions. Im sure it would be just as abused as any other part of the law and justice system but I dont find it inherently unappealing.
