RE: Real time driving and its fuckery

in Galenkp's Stuff7 months ago

Yeah, fuuuuuuck that. If I had to drive something wired up like that I'd be figuring out how to imitate the Russians and spoof GPS signals in a hurry. It's not that I'm a terrible driver but I have no interest in corporate bureaucrats trying to judge how I deal with asshats on the highway. Did a few stints as a pizza delivery driver, but the only metric they were worried about was how long it took.

Sort:  

It's a bit of a concern when people focus on a few hundred dollars and don't brake as hard as they might normally in an emergency situation; there's been a couple of rear end accidents for that reason. There's no getting away from the telemetrics though, unless one leaves the organisation I suppose.

Ah yeah, we've had problems here in the US with people slamming on the brakes and causing accidents to avoid getting a ticket from red light cameras. Yeah, I suspect sooner or later that'll be in all vehicles.
