2015 Corvette Valet Mode Recorder Illegal In Some States
innocent_white_lamb writes: The 2015 Corvette has a Valet Mode that records audio and video when someone other than the owner is driving the car. Activating the Valet Mode allows you to record front-facing video as well as capture audio from within the car so you can help keep your Corvette safe when it's in the hands of others. Well, it turns out that recording audio from within the car may be considered a felony in some states that require notice and consent to individuals that they are being recorded. Now GM is sending notices out to dealerships and customers alerting them to this fact as well as promising a future update to the PDR system.
This car monitored for quality assurance.
Technically, you'd have to add the message in braille to be compliant.
You might have been out for a Score 5 Funny, but you also delivered a plausible explanation for the abysmal parking performance of the guy I saw earlier today.
It would have to be conspicuous enough that it would be obvious to a prosecutor, judge, or whoever else enters the mix.
Why does it have to be conspicuous? Just put it in a sealed box and tell the Judge he can see the EULA after he buys the car, after which point he will no longer be able to return the car. There is legal precedent.
If you are not allowed to question your government then the government has answered your question.
Well that's stupid; it discriminates against people using sign language!

If you need to read in Braille, what the fuck are you doing at the wheel of a goddamm car???
Why would they put Braille on the drive-up ATMs if they didn't expect me to drive there?
