So, FReepers. Who wants to buy a car with a built in Nanny Cam?

(snicker)

[jmaroneps37]

Do you get to shut it off when you are going to do the nasty?

[MrEdd]

This will end predictably.
Hacked footage of couples copulating in their car to be messaged to the entire student body of some high school in 10...9....8...7...

Hmmmmm ...

What’s that little two letter word I’m looking for ...

Soon #1 seller: hack to disable this “feature.”

That is why I wpuld never have a car with built in GPS or OnStar.

If it can be used for good it WILL be used for evil.

[TangledUpInBlue]

See? These silly things make me nuts. We don’t need any anti-texting laws. We just need to issue tickets.

Texting
Eating
Drinking
Smoking
Makeup
Non-hands free phone

It can all fall under “Careless Driving”. We don’t need new laws. Have a soda in your cup holder, a Big Mac on your lap and French fries on the seat next you is just as dangerous as texting. Ticket.

Easy fix for the Nanny Cam.

Perhaps parents of a teenager would like the cam... we’re watching so drive carefully.

Where is the cam? Couldn’t you just block the lens? Perhaps with dark nail polish.

[WKUHilltopper]

Yeah...monitoring you to keep you safe. BS on them. FU Volvo

[DesertRhino]

Electrical tape

[Harpotoo]

There is a fix/bandaid for that:-)

Sweden is lost.

Gang rape of girls in the streets,

multiple alarm systems on the houses,

the end of "All Man's Land,"



...And they want to spy on us in the overpriced cars we buy from them.

Think you might be driving erratically at times if you are rushing to an emergency room?

[jughandle]

No thanks. Our older XC90 is a tank but won’t be lookin into new.

[wjcsux]

I have never liked Volvo cars. Most of them seem to be owned by neurotic man hating feminists.

[Mercat]

I was tboned by a Volvo station wagon I was driving a Miata. Her car was totaled. I drove mine another ten years. There were no Volvo skid marks.

Since it’s built by the Swedes, it’s probably designed to record any conversation critical of that country’s immigration policies.
