evacideThe first person to write a comprehensive report on the use of integrated car tech in domestic abuse situations will win my eternal gratitude, as expressed through the purchase of drinks.
eagerpebble@evacide I will pitch in for a round of those drinks. We really need to get regulation of car tech. Tesla really showed the auto and auto tech industries exactly how shitty everything could be, and they ate it up.
Andrew Zonenberg@eagerpebble @evacide Yeah I would love to see legislation targeted at telematics etc.
For example, a law that all "phone home" functionality in a vehicle must be possible to permanently disable in a well-documented, easily verifiable fashion which does not impair any other vehicle functionality.
Not like "oh we set this bit in some config file" but "we physically removed the telematics ECU, here's a photo of where it was".
Alien software, human hardware@azonenberg @eagerpebble @evacide why are those things even always active?
Make them only active when an airbag is triggered, or other cat alarm system is activated. Plus a manual (actual hardware) switch in the dash.
That would be a good law.
