I am reminded of the tech joke about how actual sysadmins have no technology in their home more recent than a mimeograph machine and they carry a loaded gun in case the mimeograph starts behaving in an unexpected manner.
It's true. I've been telling people recently that I'm not looking forward to whenever I end up buying a new car. My car has a key that unlocks the doors, and sticks into the steering column to turn the car on. I can pull that key out and kill the car in the process, and that process is all mechanical (to my knowledge, anyway). It doesn't even have that "OnStar" shit in it. So no GPS connections, no satellite link-ups. The most advanced thing it has is a tiny backup camera and BT in the radio.
The next car I buy might as well come with
as the copilot.
Every modern car is just this, but for real:
edit: and one more thing! The amount of lawsuits Tesla has been subject to where they pull out the data logs for the victim's car and weaponize it against them is fucking insane. The fact that we know that it was shown that Teslas deactivate Autopilot seconds before a crash, and as far as I know nothing was done about it, doesn't make me interested in a fucking 7 ton computer that drives at highway speeds. They have used that "data" to say that people killed while using FSD had "Disabled Autopilot" which means their software wasn't at fault. Or they'll just say that the logs were lost but it definitely wasn't FSD that was at fault.
Edit again! I'm fired up here!
THIS WILL BE MY NEXT CAR, COME HELL OR HIGH WATER!
are the logs not available on the car itself??? At this point there should be a law mandating something about the integrity and authenticity of the logs.
We can’t even get cops to keep their body cameras on despite laws about it, joke country.
