Cars with self-drive capabilities....
Cars with the ability to "phone home" and broadcast constant information on condition
AND location.....
Cell phones that constantly monitor their location and report same
Yeah, nothing to worry about, eh?
It seems like everything being manufactured today is made for "Dummies". Cars for Dummies, lawn mowers for Dummies, the list goes on. The one problem with all of the safety features is that there is more to go wrong, more diagnostic procedures to perform, more cost involved when it comes time to repair. I'm more worried about a vehicle that has self driving capabilities on the same road as I'm driving on!
I believe that the Telsa wasn't recognizing the color white and wouldn't brake for things like tractor trailers
My refrigerator doesn't need a wifi connection.
My washing machine doesn't need one, either.
My car doesn't need to record my every driving input for use as evidence against me later,
dirty effin' snitch.
I'm starting to believe there's entire generations that have grown up so nose-deep in their cell phones thatThose dopey features on household appliances appeal to younger people that are oblivious to what's going on around them and need to have their cell phones to remind them to tell them that dinner in the oven is ready and when to pull the laundry out of the washer and drier.
Not just millenials....I'm surprised that with the amount of nose-deep in their cell phone people, especially kids/millenials, that some wise arse hasn't started slapping peoples hands up to knock the cell phones away from the owners. Kinda like the "kick me" label on the back of guys shirts back in the day.
In the late 90's I watched trucking company management of the big carriers, including my boss, embrace satellite tracking of their equipment, giving them the ability to micromanage drivers from a distance. Werner had an astute General Counsel who advised them to plan on giving up the prevailing practice of fudging hours of service compliance if they were going to implement global positioning systems; they became the first carrier to implement electronic hours of service logs. The systems did indeed rat everybody else out, including my employer, which plaintiff lawyers used to their advantage for years to come.My refrigerator doesn't need a wifi connection.
