This Ford patent made me wonder. After looking it up, Ford stated that this technology would be for Ford police cars, not regular Ford cars.

UPDATE 7/31/2024 @ 3:30p ET: After publication, Ford reached out with a statement to clarify that the idea “is specific for application in law enforcement vehicles, such as the Ford Police Interceptor, and it’s a system that would automate a capability that law enforcement already have in use today, except this would utilize the built-in system and sensors in the vehicle. This patent does not state that driving data from customers’ vehicles would be shared with law enforcement, which is what some media have incorrectly reported. And note, patent applications are intended to protect new ideas but aren’t necessarily an indication of new business or product plans.”

I’ve been boycotting Loblaws since the Amex card gives 4% cashback on groceries

Just too expensive for them

Edit: can you imagine being the one that makes the most money, but still too cheap to accept Amex?! Like a millionaire still living in his mom’s basement…

and the Enshittification continues

Really?! That is so more shittier than I thought!

And actual human beings purchased those things?

Probably bad tires to be honest. Bad tires for a hideous truck: a loosing recipe.

The beaverton speaks truth once again!

Thanks for the precision. My comment was actually towards people who might be a little too passionate in the comment section 😉

Please don’t start a pointless fanboy war. We’re better than that on Lemmy.

I guess I’m part of the ones who took it to the extreme and left reddit for good…

Long live Lemmy and screw reddit
