So… ICE will know both your location and face every time you get in your car? Yeah, I’m sure this won’t result in a genocide. /s
“I dont want a chinese car because it would just spy on me”
Looks like I’ll need to start stockpiling old camrys and corollas in addition to hard drives, routers, motherboards, ram, dumb TVs, flip phones/whatever else they’re taking away this year.
We need to scrap the entire US government and start over.

It’s 1984 and no one cares
Lately, whenever anyone draws the obvious parallels to 1984, posters seem to jump to say that Orwell had unsavoury beliefs and therefore it negates any correct thing he ever said.
It’s such a weird world where we decide someone must be 100% correct by today’s standards or else everything they ever said must be complete bunk.
All of our historical heroes were assholes by today’s standards, and we will be assholes in the eyes of our descendants.
I do believe a lot of people care it’s just the ones that care have no power to do anything about it because the ones that have power are making too much money off of us not being able to do anything about it

Chinese EVs it is, nonIronically safer and more trustworthy than American products
We can’t buy them though.
The bar is not that high.
Damn, glad i don’t own a car and will never buy one.
This is fucked. But aren’t “passenger vehicles” actually quite rare? I think most (environmental and safety) regulation is on passenger vehicles, which is why auto manufacturers try and sell so many trucks and SUVs since they don’t count as “passenger vehicles”. I could be wrong and this mandate is going to target all consumer vehicles.
Fuck all cars and our American car brained culture. But also fuck this legislation.
You are wrong. The move to SUVs and trucks is because the the larger a vehicle is, the more lenient the regulations are. That’s why the current Ranger is larger than a 90s F150.
Doesn’t matter. Manufacturers will put them in everything.
The day the vehicle I paid for doesn’t work because a goddamn sensor thinks I’m not fit to drive is the day I break my foot off in someone’s ass.
Fuck this dystopian shit show we’re creating for ourselves.
Vote better.
I think it’s better to wait for the collapse, then we can try to build everything as normal without capitalism. But I’m afraid that it will be again - I wanted the best, but it turned out as always.
What part of this one is capitalism’s fault? Capitalism definitely has its issues but let’s make sure that we are accurate with criticisms otherwise they feel disingenuous.
Capitalism as a system cannot work stably forever, such a system requires endless growth, which is impossible, and sooner or later it will find itself in a dead end, and there will be a very terrible collapse, for example, now it is an absolute automation of everything possible, without the possibility of normal control.
I’m not disagreeing but this problem has nothing to do with infinite growth it is mostly to do with government overreach. Which is kind of the opposite problem actually. My point is mostly when you attribute the failures of one system to problems it doesn’t cause it weakens your position forever and makes it harder to find real solutions.
And ride a bike
Lol pre 2027 cars will sell at a premium
How about limiting the insanely bright headlights first?
You can do that yourself, those insanely bright headlights are just LED lights. The old halogen bulbs have a warmer light and are less blinding. I agree that LED bulbs should be illegal because they’re dangerous, but it has nothing to do with cars being newer or older, its the bulbs themselves.
Of course it is just the headlights but they’ve become more commonplace. I don’t remember them being as ubiquitous as they are now. The newer LED ones are the worst because they aren’t dispersed and are like pinpoint sources.
The people that are smart enough to adjust their headlights aren’t the problem. The majority of people isn’t and they drive with those stadium lights everywhere.
Which is why I said they should be illegal. No idea why I’m being downvoted for telling the truth but whatever…
Is it the bright headlights or the abundance of trucks raised so high that the headlights beam directly into your eyeballs…
Both. It’s both.
Properly adjusted headlights and people driving the appropriate following distance behind you should never have glaringly bright lights. Sadly neither is true very often. I’ve seen headlights out of whack straight from the factory. Headlights trend downward but people tailgating the shit out of you puts you in the beam path. Yes, height differences obviously play a role here.
I have a Miata, nearly anything on the road can blind me cause my head is only about ~3.5 feet(~1m) off the ground. The entire car is only about 4 feet(~1.2m) tall.
To anybody that lifted their vehicle truck or otherwise…did the thought of adjusting your headlights even cross your mind? I’m guessing not.
I’m also going to toss this out there…for the love of God do not put led bulbs in halogen light fixtures. I don’t care if they say they ‘mimic’ the halogen beam pattern…they don’t. You’re blinding everyone on the damn road just stop please, I beg you. (This is going to be the controversial piece that people respond to….yes, I know of a few bulbs that do okay at this but they’re expensive. People are buying the $20 ones on Amazon, and they suck at it. So my blanket statement is just don’t…please just don’t).
So this works perfectly and has no bugs, right? There’s probably going to be millions of false positives everyday and people won’t be able to use their cars. Between this and AI age verification and everything else, the dumbass politicians in power seem to think all this shit is magical wizardry. Their going to cause society to collapse.
Their going to cause society to collapse.
Not cause, but slightly accelerate.
