"Your driving privacy expires with your current car’s lifespan"
"Your car simply watches and decides whether you’re fit to drive"
Using technology to save lives is one thing, but this data will be in the hands of bad people.

Grass fires raging in Nebraska.
This is a time-lapse sequence, in infrared, of the state of Nebraska. It's reverse polarity, so the hot fires are black, and high-altitude cold cirrus clouds are white.
The sequence starts in late morning of 12 March and continues to sunset of 13 March.
On the 12th the surface winds were very strong and drove the fires dozens of miles to the southeast. As sunset came, the wind direction changed and drove the fires to the south.
Overnight the winds were fairly light, so fire activity was low.
The morning of the 13th the winds picked up again, but in yet another direction and drove the fires to the north.
Finally, shortly before sunset the wind shifted yet again to drive the fires again to the southeast.
Windy weather and/or red flag conditions are forecast for the next two days.
The largest fire is the Morrill Fire: (half a million acres in a little over one day!)

Because of my lazy nature I am building a ESP32 based IR-remote to turn off my monitor (yes, it has a IR remote) when I am not in the room. For the latter I want to use a presence sensor but I am already struggling with the IR transmitter - feels really annoying.
It has a GND, VCC and DATA connector and a test with a multimeter (diode mode) shows it is working. A camera phone test also shows a purple light inside the diode.
I connected the IR transmitter to the ESP32-C super mini and played the previously recorded pulses from the remote using MicroPython and the RMT library:
The builtin SMD LED is blinking red for a short moment but the monitor does not turn off.
While checking the IR diode with my phone camera I barely can see the purple light, probably the GPIO pin is not providing enough current? But why this board has a VCC and GND connector? At the moment I don't have any other IR diode otherwise I would try to add a transistor to it maybe.
Anyone knows how to use this board? I only can find it connected directly to the GPIO without transistor.
Thanks!
