The EU’s General Safety Regulation (GSR) will effectively require driver monitoring systems in the near future.

Also, it's adorable if y'all think this tomfuckery is limited to just one automaker.

I'm just gonna have to see to it that my already 20y old car never dies...

Until it's illegal to own a car older than X years... For your safety, of course

At that point I'll just crash it into one of those fuckwits and into a wall because life isn't worth living in that dystopia and my life is more usefull taken to kill one of them

My 35 year old car is on engine number 3, I will just bring it back from the dead if I have to.

I bought a new car last year. I guess that’s the only one I’ll ever buy.

At least the old cars can be worked on

This is why I won't buy a new car

I never did, it's not really typical for an individual to own trams and trains

For every one of us pulling telemetry fuses and keeping old cars on the road, there are two dozen fuckwits buying refrigerators with billboards on them.

Every day I get more convinced not to buy a new "modern" car!

This is ridiculous!

Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 100d

All the more reason to keep my "old" vehicles running as best I can.

I keep telling people that having babies is bad. If you bring children into a world like this, you're cruel. Fuck all this.

Unless you are confident you can support your child - is my take on that, personally.

A middle class family can thrive and have a very good impact on the world if they have morals.

But having a kid at of close to working minimum wage and buried in debt is just irresponsible, and that's what a lot of people do, and I think that's where your comment really comes from, unless I'm mistaken.

Kind of. I've seen that happen recently, but now in my country the education is being dumbed down and the government is transitioning to an abusive entity.

Here it's not about if you can support you child IMO. It's really about if you think your child can live independently at some point with staggering quality of life reductions. Privacy is a basic need, and they'll never know it. Climate change, nuclear war threats, directed energy weapons, AI police and political opinions silenced with blackmail used from data tracking.

Things are getting worse. Kids these days don't stand a chance. I say let's fix the world first, then have kids.
