Little Cameras Provide Car Safety?
from the seems-like-a-privacy-issue dept
Ford has unveiled some prototypes to help make the roads safer. One of the ideas is to put little cameras in every car that take pictures and will alert rescue crews if something goes wrong. I can certainly see where this could be useful, but there are definitely privacy ("Big Brother") concerns here. And, as someone who adamantly believes that a car is the place where one should show off their singing talent (or lack thereof), I'm glad to see that a microphone isn't necessarily part of the plan as well.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
