Good to know, thanks!

It is actually creepy, privacy invading, and dangerous in some cases, I think about the guy who made a video working in the woods, simulating a chainsaw accident, and the car would not start because the driver is not 100% able due adrenaline rush visible on his face.

That said, it is a mandatory feature from EU made in 2019 for public safety, with an affiched goal to reduce road deaths. The datas would be anonymous, exploited for statistics and must respect UE rgpd. In theory!

In one hand I find dangerous to track and supervise a population, in the other hand I see way too much dangerous behaviors on the road, especially around pedestrians and bikers, and a system that would say to the driver “hey you fucked up here, don’t do it again” would be nice.

Just an anecdote, an emergency brake system detected me walking and saved my life by breaking hard cause the driver was distracted (I was on a crosswalk), otherwise I would have been send to orbit.

I think 2015-2020 was the shift, causebadvanced driving systems were made mandatory for constructors in UE since 2019.

My 2010 car has no connection, but it begins to crumble (needs repairs for more than 3k), I’m lucky I can go anywhere by bike.

Faster, lighter, stronger.

I still can use a 15yo laptop for daily tasks, still boot in less than 20s (with ssd).

No surprises, I remember having stuff unremovable, like google toolbar, and no forced reboot when you are still working (they fixed this issue).

Software management is way faster : you don’t have to download a zip, unzip, hit the .exe, then accept a fuckload of agreements.
