A U.S. Patent and Trademark Office submission published July 18 titled “Systems and Methods for Detecting Speeding Violations” describes a way for Ford‘s vehicles to measure the speeds of nearby cars using cameras and sensors, and then potentially report those violations to the police.

Tell me how that would work if I have the right to face my accuser in court?

SCOTUS will just rule that peasants can go fuck themselves.

Wouldn't the accuser be the local prosecutor using evidence submitted by Ford? You could surely challenge how ford collected it, but if they were confident enough to implement, and the prosecutor confident enough to actually use it, then both legal teams would have vetted it thoroughly enough to stand up in court.
