No one tells you when you buy the car all of the shit you are agreeing to. This needs to be changed.

This car doesn't let you drive over 80mph. It reads speed limit signs and has a database apparently. The owners manual says it will provide that data to law enforcement.

This is insane. There needs to be awareness of this so people can, at the very least, know to ask before they buy. As it stands no one even knows this shit until they sign the papers and look at the owners manual.

This is how it’ll happen. Opt in. They’ll charge more by default and then you can share your safe driving with them to lower your premium. It’s often how it currently works with odometer readings, except not through a smart car, just a quick dash reading.

I’m imagining a nagging-nanny removing discounts for minuscule violations it deems catastrophic. “On September 2 you exhibited ‘road rage’ by not using your turn signal before passing.”
