Oh that kind of monitoring. Yeah I definitely don’t get the fun of that, even when I was an edgy teen (lol) I didn’t.

I mean, it’s not AI powered. Or at least no more an AI than an existing sensor system would be.

But I also never really got the fun of cod so I can’t speak to the monitoring you’re talking about

This article seems a bit biased too… it’s weird. This one claims “AI powered tool to detect impaired driving” but that also doesn’t appear in the bill, so why does the writer bring up the AI boogeyman?

Plus it points out the NHTSA will make the rule (true) but then it somehow extrapolates that to “therefore they’ll make companies give your constant data away to the feds!” which… what? What about the NHTSA implies that?

And then it ends with a rant about the surveillance state. Which like, I’m not a fan of either but it feels like it falls on the side of fearmongering the OTHER direction.

They’re bringing the 500e back to cover that (very) small demand in the US. No reason they’d have both.

They’re already limited to 28, I wonder if that’s low enough.

Forums do still exist… they just aren’t nearly as active as they used to be, at least just for vehicle specific groups. But maybe that’s also nostalgia? NASIOC was never going to last as huge players moved to other platforms, for example.

Technical forums still seem to be pretty lively. I’ve used the megasquirt forums extensively, they’re still very active- though the platform itself is getting old in the tooth.

But I just recently got a 500 Abarth and those forums are still quite active. That said the car is still actively made outside the US so maybe that is helping.
