While I wish people would stop fucking speeding (you really aren’t getting there that much faster) and tailgaiting like fucking Talladega nights, I still think this is bullshit and fuck Ford for doing this.

The need:

Don’t drive over people, kids, pets or other items such as personal property or buildings.

The current status:

People don’t do those things because mostly they are good enough not to run you over. Bad people on the other hand have no internal limits to prevent tragedy.

The fix:

You can’t go faster than the speed limit. Bad people can still drive you over or hit your car or house.

You see how this works? The problem wasn’t even addressed. But additionally there’s the problem of “I’m at point A and would like to get to point B but not faster than the speed limit so the cop doesn’t shoot me 19 times in the back of the head.”

The fix: you can’t go faster than the speed limit. This allows you to get to point B. However the cop can still shoot you 19 times in the back of the head even when you didn’t do anything wrong.

Noted: driving 3 mph under the speed limit in front of all fords from now on.

Voroxpete ,

Go for 10mph under. Gotta really be safe.

If my car is going to be a snitch, I want a share of that fat ticket money. ;)

Pay me or GTFO.

Infinite money glitch?

RagingRobot ,

Maybe they are patenting this just so that no one else can make it! Because they are generous kind hearted people, right? Right?.. Omg :(

bane_killgrind ,

Nope it just takes one jurisdiction to mandate a reporting system is used and then they have a captive market.

Zaktor ,

If they program in an exception to not report other Fords it could become a competitive advantage.

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.

Reverendender ,

You can get the license plate thingies on eBay

License plate blockers are illegal in most states now because of the implementation of privately owned license plate readers that track you and sell the data back to police.

Are they trying to sell fewer vehicles?

“But if we market it as a subscription service, then surely customers will want it” - Some clueless executive

adarza ,

it’ll be something the cops subscribe to, and car owners will have no say.

mars296 ,

What they should do is give the car owners a cut if the ticket fees. They would have people patrolling the streets to catch speeders. There also be a big uptick in vandalism of Fords. I would love to watch this experiment with some popcorn.

friend_of_satan ,

Dude! Yes! We definitely need more companies treating 1984 like an instruction manual. /s

joyjoy ,

Pay to lose

TheEighthDoctor ,

They could make a system that doesn’t allow the vehicle to speed but I guess allowing it and then snitching is better

Zaktor ,

You should probably read articles before commenting. The cars aren’t reporting themselves.

when are we gonna have biomedical devices that directly send their test results to health insurance companies? I feel like we are missing this for a perfect Dystopia

Fascist nazi fuck company. Class traitor ICE vehicles seem on point though.

Crikeste ,

That face when you allow your factories in Europe to become war machines, but not the ones in your own home.

Allegiances and all that.

    This only reports other drivers around the Ford speeding so what would happen is they would still do that and you would get in trouble for going 10 over.

    I see Ford wants to produce only cop cars.
