Future Fords might detect speeding and report you to the cops

[tbone]

As someone who always obeys the speed laws and has never had a ticket, I believe this would produce so many calls to police that they would never be able to respond to hardly any of them. Just like now when almost everyone I see on the road is speeding and nothing is ever done about it.

And if they did report, the speeder would be gone by the time the cops got there.

Glad I did not have this in Ponca Arkanasas. Coming down a mountain @ 75mph plus and then rolling into a podunk town that died 100 years ago with a 25mph speed limit. Get a ticket for 50 mph over in podunkville USA!

Its interesting the liberal dipshits of the Ford Motor Division's marketing team took time from propagandizing plastic straws, sugary drinks, and plastic bags to try and turn their cars into the snitches they aspire to become. Cant they just circle back to cigarettes for a while and leave us alone.

You drive in morning traffic?
I sometimes do. Just run the speed limit and manage your time better, PLEASE.

This won't happen because nothing productive will come from this. By the time the cops are dispatched to the location, the speeding car will be long gone and the call will be marked as unfounded. If someone is actually caught and gets a ticket, they'd be dumb to not fight it. The cop can't testify to seeing you commit the infraction. And how often will you be required to bring your car in for calibration?

Thank you for your wisdom, but it is still a problem, and a problem that will never be resolved.

You LEOs (or other government people) know even better than we do, the death that occurs on our roads. Many LEOs have to see that death that happens all too often. You can see my deleted posts. Not only do I see so much that I have seen throughout my decades, but recent days, I have mourned.

I heard on the net that Ford will name the program, Karen.

I declare you the winner, LMAO

But they will still want to charge extra for the Shelby package. It’s called having your cake and eating it to. They want to upsell you engines for profit but blame you for speeding.

Why not just put a speed limiter in the cars??? Why make cars that can go 140 and then rattle to law enforcement??

 

[gwpercle]

There are plenty of apps and tools that exist that do this without reporting people to the police against their will...

It was a joke son ... a little humor ... you supposed to smile !
Don't be so serious all the time ... I was just funnin .

Now if the car sent information on the vehicles driving "at such a slow speed as to impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic" or the vehicles in the left hand lane driving "at a speed slower than any vehicle traveling to its right on the same roadway" I'd consider buying it

 

[Gator 45/70]

I speed and break da law every time I'm behind the wheel because its the way our laws and road system is set-up!
and OMG these lil maw and paw town's, Everyone is set-up as a revenue generator!!!
Change my mind Bruh......

It is very hard for me to see individual liberties survive the test of time in the digital age.

Tech companies have given up on trying to convert the stalwarts over 50. We will eventually die out! They have the proof (and the billions of dollars in profit), the young are surrendering their freedoms to them (and government), without a fight!

Another reason to not buy a Ford.

Frogs in the pot never notice the heat. Even with the 2A crowd I watch as people, young and over 50, happily assume the 'little bit' they give is not going to hurt.

While I completely agree with you here, I also agree that there are things going on that should be addressed. We are a nation of laws, and while it can be stated "there are too many laws" (I'd agree), there are other dangerous problems that the general public would benefit from if those problems were properly addressed.

If you don't already, go take a drive in morning traffic from about 4 a.m. to about 8 a.m., and just on interstates. That's a 4-hour span. 2 hours each way. Run the speed limit when you can, and use cruise control whenever possible. That will show you some things.

It would possibly be more safe for me to speed with the traffic.

If they do it and get away with it..
Anyone have any idea what the incentive is for them? I know the technology has been there, it just hasn’t been applied (that we know of!) why would you potentially p;SS off your customer base by… oh wait, they don’t care. Government bailouts….nevermind.

Ford Did Not take a bailout when GMC and Chrysler did.

They would just mail you a ticket and fine your social credit system. The fine would enrich some shitty corporation run by a foreign CEO would be mostly automated.

If it only saves o

This is why we need kill switches in cars, that way the cops can killem, (the car not the driver) lol

If it only saves one life!

Ford doesn’t want to put it in their cars, they want the first patent on it so they can make money off the patent and the system which will be adaptable to much more than automobiles. And of course selling the systems to those that would actually want it in their vehicles. The Dems will be super excited to have them so when they get passed on the highway and they feel like they have just been mistreated and prejudiced against they will have yet another way to get what they want without having to do anything for themselves.
