U.S. Senator Markey leads a news conference to re-introduce the Green New Deal at the U.S. Capitol in Washington
Out of control government is out of control.
I can certainly send this piece of human excrement a letter.
For all the damn good it will do.
I have lived my entire adult being taxed without representation in this Leftist, corrupt, immoral state.
But hey. I can write a letter.
For all the good it will do.
Coming soon...Traffic tickets issued to you by your vehicle.
With these government mandates for auto manufacturers to install spyware on vehicle I have made up my mind to buy an 1970s car and never buy new again. and she pull the cars in a longer available I’ll just refuse to buy another. They can all go to hell.
Just figured it out, I am an Anarchist. No laws, we start over.
Slippery slope.
This is more regulation under the democrats. This is totally unnecessary and would add considerable cost to new vehicles.
The DemonRats are always on offense. The Republicans had literally decades to repeal or send these issues to the states but they sat on ass. I’m kind of glad this is happening because it’ll wake up people.
These 3 are probably getting kickbacks from whoever has the tech to monitor drivers.
Gee, that is a “good” idea that is already in there already. Note the plug in modules that several insurance companies have as a “savings option”, and we see the future. Just get a clue, and know they are there. People will find a way of negating or defeating this system, they always do. And thus, it will possibly defeat the purpose in the first place. More “surveillance state” idiocy.
The real “spooky” thing will be if it is someday possible, that if you make a mistake while driving, or some such excuse, and either a remote or autonomous system takes over. You would lose control, and it either stops, locking you in, so that you can be picked up by the authorities... or you wreck. Wonderful.
So it is vital drivers pay attention when the car is being driven by computer, but when there is no computer, drivers can do their makeup while in zoom calls. Great!
Three Democratic U.S. senators on Monday said they are introducing legislation that would require U.S. regulators to mandate installation of driver-monitoring systems to ensure motorists pay attention while using systems like Tesla’s Autopilot.

We need to install Senator monitoring systems to see which groups these senators are taking “campaign contributions” (ie. bribes) from.
Senators Ed Markey, Richard Blumenthal and Amy Klobuchar introduced the measure on Monday...

Too bad it wasn’t Hirono instead of Klobuchar, then it would have been a hat trick of the dumbest living Senators.
There is a company that is making an alternative for Tesla’s Autopilot for cars equipped with adaptive cruise control and lane assist. It uses a cell phone’s cameras (not your cell phone, one comes with the kit) to monitor the road ahead as well as the driver’s eyes. If your eyes aren’t on the road or closed, it issues a warning. I would think Tesla could add this capability with little effort.
Pricing us out of driving ...I don’t like spending more than 1500 on usually 90s vehicles. Works for me...but they’ll take that away soon to be sure
Ban the Tesla fully-automatic assault car! /Sarc
We just bought a new XXXXXX which has adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, automatic braking, etc.... I turned it all off - it’s dangerous and adds $4k to $6k to the price of the car (and adds a lot of reliability issues). The car is comfortable, has a great driving position, is quiet and has reasonable performance. Wish I could have bought the same car without all the electronics and crap that is useless.
That’s a world class combover!
Three elected morons.
