I can’t. I just can’t.
I can’t wait to have to buy active countermeasures for this shit. /s
“I dont want a chinese car because it would just spy on me”
You’d think more libertarian types would be more in favor of walkable cities, biking, and such.
Bought a 2000 Honda Civic precisely because I don’t want to be spied upon.
Spank my ass cause everything else already does, so it makes my effort almost completely moot.
So… ICE will know both your location and face every time you get in your car? Yeah, I’m sure this won’t result in a genocide. /s
Looks like I’ll need to start stockpiling old camrys and corollas in addition to hard drives, routers, motherboards, ram, dumb TVs, flip phones/whatever else they’re taking away this year.
We need to scrap the entire US government and start over.
It’s 1984 and no one cares
Chinese EVs it is, nonIronically safer and more trustworthy than American products
This is fucked. But aren’t “passenger vehicles” actually quite rare? I think most (environmental and safety) regulation is on passenger vehicles, which is why auto manufacturers try and sell so many trucks and SUVs since they don’t count as “passenger vehicles”. I could be wrong and this mandate is going to target all consumer vehicles.
Fuck all cars and our American car brained culture. But also fuck this legislation.
The day the vehicle I paid for doesn’t work because a goddamn sensor thinks I’m not fit to drive is the day I break my foot off in someone’s ass.
Fuck this dystopian shit show we’re creating for ourselves.
Vote better.

How about limiting the insanely bright headlights first?
Is it the bright headlights or the abundance of trucks raised so high that the headlights beam directly into your eyeballs…
Both. It’s both.
Properly adjusted headlights and people driving the appropriate following distance behind you should never have glaringly bright lights. Sadly neither is true very often. I’ve seen headlights out of whack straight from the factory. Headlights trend downward but people tailgating the shit out of you puts you in the beam path. Yes, height differences obviously play a role here.
I have a Miata, nearly anything on the road can blind me cause my head is only about ~3.5 feet(~1m) off the ground. The entire car is only about 4 feet(~1.2m) tall.
To anybody that lifted their vehicle truck or otherwise…did the thought of adjusting your headlights even cross your mind? I’m guessing not.
I’m also going to toss this out there…for the love of God do not put led bulbs in halogen light fixtures. I don’t care if they say they ‘mimic’ the halogen beam pattern…they don’t. You’re blinding everyone on the damn road just stop please, I beg you. (This is going to be the controversial piece that people respond to….yes, I know of a few bulbs that do okay at this but they’re expensive. People are buying the $20 ones on Amazon, and they suck at it. So my blanket statement is just don’t…please just don’t).
You can do that yourself, those insanely bright headlights are just LED lights. The old halogen bulbs have a warmer light and are less blinding. I agree that LED bulbs should be illegal because they’re dangerous, but it has nothing to do with cars being newer or older, its the bulbs themselves.
Lol pre 2027 cars will sell at a premium
