We are expecting most cars to be redistributed in the name of equity soon. They will drive off in the night in terms of timing.

The sad fact is: Would people rather have this, or have cell phones regulated to prevent activity/data while driving? They'd rather have this.

Not like this hasn't happened already

GM is Now Facing a Lawsuit for Selling OnStar Driving Data to Insurance Companies and Data Brokers
The federal lawsuit, filed against GM and LexisNexis Risk Solutions by GM customer Romeo Chicco, alleges that the sharing of his driving habits in his 2021 Cadillac XT6 led to his rejection by seven auto insurance companies late last year. He finally discovered the reason: information about his speeding, hard braking and acceleration, and trip durations over the course of some 258 trips was being shared with insurance companies, leading to “significantly elevated” insurance premiums, Chicco alleges.

What's the law suit, GM didn't share the data to the Feds?

GM was selling the data to LexisNexis and they sold the information to insurance companies. GM has stopped this but too late. If you know someone with a late model Corvette they are all over this.

It's interesting to note that the demographic of people who care most about "their data" being sold are actually the least valuable.

Don't ask me how I know.

That's what happens when there aren't enough police to enforce the law. De-fund the police anyone?

Left lane idiots are so much worse than speeders. We could probably cure 80% of traffic in most areas of this country if people would just stay the F out of the left lane.

Better yet, have them get a real license, you know, the kind where annually you have to pass a...

- written test
- driving test
- eye test
- hearing test
- spatial awareness test
- drug test

Get more people off the road that can't actually drive, that's your solution to everything from insurance premiums to the condition of roadways and global warming.

Oh yeah, and burn the license of the people drinking and driving. Never let them get in a car again.

Sorry, was that a rant? Oops. lol
No. I'm not going to agree to MORE government, more testing, more hoops. It's regressive and just hurts people of lower income. Just enforce the laws already on the books.

It's a slippery slope. People are sheep for allowing themselves to be controlled by the government. I bet after this, they'll make it so cars beep and chime any time someone doesn't have their seatbelt buckled.

We must resist.

That doesn't rile up a voting base, meaning the campaign money doesn't flow.

Government NEEDS issues for them to "solve". Sometimes those issues are real. A lot of times those issues are made up by thselves for convenience.

We have micro plastics found in every place we look, including our own cells and nobody in government gives a rats ass. China quit subsidizing plastic recycling so now it largely just gets trashed so it's not like plastic is somehow better.

But here we are not worrying about that because that's hard, and instead we are gonna yell about climate change, and how we need billions to trillions of YOUR money to "slow the rate of acceleration of temperatures rising". All that money to transition the developed world is supposed to just make it get hotter faster just reduce how much the rate or temperatures climbing speeds up. Wild.

What do you think a 6000 battery powered "self driving" car is? I call them weapons of mass destruction.
