What's the difference between recognition and tracking? If a spy-camera recognizes you, it knows you, John Doe, were at point A at 12:41PM, and the next spy-camera that recognizes you knows you were at point B at 12:43PM, etc, etc. Unless you're advocating not keeping the data unless there's a match to a specific face.
You're implying that improved law enforcement is a societal good in itself. Preventing murders, beatings, and robberies is a social good. Catching teenagers having a beer, people smoking a joint, fining jaywalkers where there's little to no traffic, etc, are just the government and their hired thugs (cops) being meddlesome.
Incorrect. LOT Polish airlines was flying 767s NYC-Warsaw and ORD-Warsaw in the early 1990s, before the 777 was even released to production. They went directly from Russian jets to modern 767s.
I'd be all for automated camera enforcement. Set speed limits at reasonable levels (say 30mph in built-up areas, 70-80mph on freeways). Set the cameras at 5-10 mph over that limit. Fines should be a % of income, so as to make them as painful to the rich as to the poor.
Automate the traffic cops out of a job -- added bonus is that cameras can't pull someone over because of their color or their type of car, so the racism/classism argument would go away. Cameras also can't go on a fishing expedition and think a donut crumb on the car's floor is actually crystal meth (really happened in Florida).
Problem is, it's not only racists who get affected -- liberal protestors get doxxed just as often. Especially if they're fighting against police abuse.
I don't get that they're trying to help the public. Most cops went into the job because they're too stupid to go into politics, washed out of the military, but still want some combination of power over other people and adoration. US policing generally attracts the wrong kind of people.
(1) The average auto buyer in the US is a borderline mechanical idiot who values gimcrack geegaws over functionality. (2) It's a car, not a phone. It does the same thing, taking me from point A to B. Why the fuck would I care about changing the user interface. (3) The 2019 Jetta/Golf still have real HVAC controls, not a touch-screen designed for dumb millennials. (4) Changing the light switch in your VW likely took about 30 seconds. Pull out, unplug, plug new one in, push in.
No worries, plane will still fly even with the wingtips folded -- it only would be losing about 20% of the wing length. Planes have lost more (on one wing) and landed safely. Takeoff/landing speeds might be a bit faster, though.
Because the rest of the junk increases complexity, decreases reliability (touch screen is easily broken if you ever carry things in the passenger seat), and reduces repairability. Instead of a broken button or knob, you'll be out a touch-screen module. Also, the connected crap reduces privacy.
Give me a childishly simple car with the same drivetrain,
The standard should be "as much freedom in the life of the average Jane or Joe as possible." Whether it's freedom from bad practices of employers or freedom from government regulation. Thus, I applaud any court that increases personal freedom, even if it stomps on the toes of authoritarians, religious nutters, and corporatists.
With Autopilot cars, it's all in software. No hydraulic connection between the brakes and the pedal, 'puker uses an electric motor to "fake" resistance in the pedal.

Dateline 1 April 2016. You got trolled.
Blocking Twitter on WebTVs? You mean -- they're trying to finally block Trump?
Nah, most dumb cops in the US just see their careers and an opportunity to control people. They don't even think enough to think "better society."

You support the pigs up until you start crying about the "deeeep staaaate."
Yep, cheapened design, marketed to techbros who'll eat it up like ice cream because shiny! touch screen! modern!
All hail Ned Ludd!
You can probably put their PoS modem in bridge mode and stick your own router behind it.
(5) Panamera isn't a real Porsche. It's a front-engined piece of shit for rich housewives with a midlife crisis and more money than brains.

French cars aren't known for reliability, Rollers are nice toys for people with more sense than money.
One-wing F-15, landed safely...

Lake Arrowhead, Truckee, and Mammoth beg to differ :)

Yes, because waiting for the car to preheat isn't always an option.

Guy? Who knew? Next time RTA.
