Alright, so I went to the US DOT web page linked in the article and clicked the link to the new rules ... and it's exclusively talks about mandating automatic braking that can detect both pedestrians and vehicles.
I can't find a single mention of the inward facing surveillance cameras or impairment sensing tech. Am I missing it or is this article bullshit?
I am new to this and just skimming.
But at a glance, the article talks about Section 24220 of the "BIL" which does indeed talk about in-cabin monitoring. I wish I could find the actual section of the law on my phone, but this letter from NHTSA talks about it.
But the articles links seem to be about something completely different.
Sloppy AF, yes, and in that sense the article is bullshit. But the thing it's warning about does seem to exist.
But is it illegal to disconnect or cover the antennae so it cant phone home?
But is it illegal to ~~disconnect or cover the antennae so it cant phone home~~ design and open source a replacement ECU to swap out for the snitch box?
FTFY
Mine broke and I can't afford to fix it.
Spy on us and even make us pay for it.
I have a 2012 f150 and it will be the last vehicle I ever buy. I will fix it and just keep driving
