Your car is a private space for the most part—put up those fuzzy dice even if they could block your view. U wanna turn your music so high you can’t hear a siren? Go for it—for the most part. Your driveway and any road you wanna put on your property is also a private space.
A shared road is not private. That’s the issue here. The question for regulators and governments is: How do you make sure everybody is reasonably safe without recalling billions of cars to have the “trivial” changes you proposed?
Sometimes that’s good old fashioned seat belts. Sometimes that’s Ai. Could be a speed bump. Privacy really doesn’t apply here—you’re in a public space.
If a shared road is not private how come radar detectors are usually illegal? You are in public picking up radio signals. Clearly there is no expectation of privacy when you are sending out radio waves in a shared area.
Great point
