    I read the other day that laws are being passed by people with chauffeurs for people who drive cars and I cant get that out of my mind.

      Notice how these “Liberals”, even after watching America fall to fascism and their own domestic resurgence, are continuing to implement all the tools necessary for big brother style totalitarianism? How they’re continuing to implement big brother FOR fascism?

      It’s almost like they work for the same interests…

          In the “illusion of democracy, while a capitalist plutocracy owns our political class” sense, which is the only correct one.

              This is true across the developed world. Liberalism is fervently pro-capital, and results in a political class who are captured by the wealthiest; who operate on behalf of capital instead of the people, and run the country for-profit, like a business.

              All developed economies have been backsliding in quality of life and standard of living for the last 30-60 years in a race to the bottom. The rich have gotten richer while the poor have gotten poorer. The US is just the furthest along the downward spiral, and an example of what will happen everywhere without significant change and resistance.

    Recently I accepted a new job, and it will come with a new company car.

    If I happen to get a model that was sold after this rule goes into effect, I’m planning to tape off the camera.
    Hopefully that should be enough to “fool” the systems in question

      Don’t worry, taping the camera will result in the vehicle braking to standstill after a minute. (No joke…)

      No you can not. If you do, it will trigger an emergency stop after a minute.

      And no, I am not kidding. I have tried this on a new car just a few days ago.

      My cheap Suzuki Swift from last year has this already. It warns me when i look around, being tired and so on.

      It is not very accurate i might add…
