I’ve spent some time noodling on that exact question.

It’d be great if we had a better functioning civil society, where the government and the 4th estate could insist on basic protections for citizens, and the corporations would be steered away from the worst profit-seeking excesses that they’ll get into without the extra guidance.

That article was what gave me the idea to search the patent database. All sorts of creepy shit in the pipeline. Stay tuned.

Some fun stuff, automatic dog treat dispensers and stuff, but mostly appalling violations of your privacy. Welcome to the future, where Dearborn is always watching.

I think that’s why Ford is patenting this specific tech. It prevents you from being able to turn off the tracking, by leveraging every Ford that has NOT turned off tracking to spot the vehicle that is “running dark.”

Well, I don’t know. You see deer strikes all the time where I live (rural folks will know what I’m talking about).

You rarely see deerS strikes, where the deer get chopped into multiple deers. It happens, it’s just rare, other than like, 18 wheeler hits.

I shared the story because I thought that was strange and alarming. The truck that looks like a guillotine blade seems to cut just how it looks like it would.
