"Ain’t no snitches riding with us
Ol mo the mouth n***as could holler the front" - Lil’ Wayne
Have you consumed your daily amount of ad-prescribed surveillance pills, citizen?
Usually I’m against this kinda stuff, but this would be hilarious. I’ve almost been run off the road by tiny dicked dudes in lifted F-250’s rolling coal. I say fuck 'em.
Yeah let’s fuck it up for everyone because it would amuse you. I wonder why we can’t have nice things? 🤔
They should totally make it real so that people would finally stop buying ford
why would you allow speeding in the first place, just to report it to cops after?!?
Or maybe I should have read it and it is reporting other drivers?
Clearly it should just be controlled by the police
Lol nice
There are so many reasons to rip OEM shit out of new cars these days
Buy a old car and learn to work on it yourself.
Ah yes I’d sure like to own a snitchmobile.
Well it might be snitching on me every second of every day, but at least its not a chevy…
Bold of you to assume you’ll have a choice.
When the day comes that I’m forced to buy a car I’ll be flummoxed.
Are armed mechanics going to show up and install a monitor on my 2001 shitbox?
That thing won’t run forever.
I’ll dead before the last 2000’s econo car dies.

Toyota makes better vehicles anyway
I’ll stick to Toyota for now.
I wish I’d found Toyota products decades earlier. Nearly lifelong Ford guy here, and honestly no major complaints with the vehicles I’ve had. But we are now a Toyota family, and everyone I know who owns one (now including us) won’t even look at another company. Really reliable, well designed cars, IMO. I think you’re doing the right thing.
It is every car manufacturer everywhere. To make things worse, the car manufacturers sell your data to insurance companies
Na, do it
Please. Please god. This would be the actual funniest shit. I had a man wave a damn gun at me for doing the speed limit in the left lane… on a residential road. I am so sick of these entitled assholes. Ford, please, its the only thing I want for christmas, please please make their douchey trucks fink on them. I’ve been so good this year.

… Speeding is what you consider a “nice thing”?
Driving fast can be enjoyable, ask a professional or even an amateur racer, but that’s not what I’m saying. A legally mandated limiter is going to cost drivers money to have it installed on cars that don’t have it. Governments aren’t going to pay to have it retro installed. Or if they did, there are better things to prioritize first. It’s also going to cause an increase in the price of new cars as well (because any reason to jack the price) though I suspect retro fitting is more expensive.
People doing 90 in a 30 or drag racing down a street, rollin coal, etc etc - totally disagree with that sort of thing, I just don’t think punishing everyone else is the way to stop that issue. A fair and just legal/justice system that isn’t hobbled by bullshit partisan politics and lobbying would do wonders.
left lane… on a residential road
Hmm, perhaps this is the issue with our car-centric society and it won’t actually be solved with big-brother surveillence.
I mean, if you’re not passing in the left lane…
I kid, i kid, I’ve been on those residential two lane roads. The number of people that think highway guidelines apply on a residential road are mind-blowing. Like, I’m in this lane because I’m turning left in a mile and trying to merge a full-size work van with medium traffic congestion is a challenge already. I’m sorry I kept you from driving your Mazda like a Maserati
Yeah, why were you in the left lane? Slower vehicles keep to the right, jackass
I was going to turn left.
This has got to be a case of a preventative patent and not something that’ll actually see production. Like, there’s just no way the people at Ford are dumb enough to look at this and unironically think it’s a good idea. They’d probably lose a quarter of their customer base if they start rolling it out.
My guess would be they’re just playing it smart, waiting for the dystopian required implementation of the systems in all cars in the future.
Watch governments implement this requirement, then ford makes $$$ selling the rights to everyone else
Imagine how handy this would be in generating reasons to pull people over, if a certain fascist regains power
Yeah there’s no point in spending the money on R&D and manufacturing just togive info to an outside party. This is either preventative like you say, or they plan to offer a subscription service to local PD’s at a price
Why not have the car drive you directly jail?
I had enough reasons to not buy a Ford before this.
Now I want an onboard system that hides my tag until it sees a pig bike/car/van, warns ME (the schlep who pays for it) and reveals the tag. Why is tech serving the pigs and not the owners who drive the vehicles as they were designed? Oh, that’s right, the cozy relationship between corporations and leo gangs. FML
And if you think I drive aggressively now, buy one of these stitchmobiles and see how often you’re cut off, brake checked, and given a hassle. Spoiler alert: it’ll be a lot more. A LOT.
So happy I sold off my car 8 years ago & haven’t had one since. I can hardly believe how bad things have gotten.
How are you commuting?
A little thing called ✨public transit ✨
Sometimes. Or sometimes I walk. I also have a small 155cc motorbike for other tasks.
Very nice! What model bike, if you don’t mind me asking?
Yamaha NVX 155cc
