Get back to making chips ye scurvy sea dogs.]]>Jul 5th 2010 7:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/
Now when your pulled over for bad driving, you cannot lie.

Your car now knows how bad a driver is, and it's only a matter of USB connectivity or wireless access from police officers to finalize that ticket.

But wait, won't this create an entirely new way of hacking your car? Telling your car that your a "perfect" driver?

Hmm..]]>Jul 5th 2010 7:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/1. Why do Intel need to do this?
2. Are they ever going to produce this commercially?
3. It's the kind of project Universities do
4. It's been done before many times (as others have noted black boxes are available in Europe, admittedly without cameras and stuff, but otherwise the same monitoring telemetrics and GPS)
5. 'Self aware' cars on the roads are a generation away (and were predicted about two generations ago).
6. The original source (UK, 'Daily Telegraph') has hammed this up into more 'Big Brother' society. It's an emotive topic and that's why Intel have whipped this smart car up.

Anyway, it's obviously just a publicity stunt of some kind and a load of baloney.]]>Jul 5th 2010 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/

Anyone else think lane drifting is becoming pretty common nowadays?]]>Jul 5th 2010 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/
Not too common in my area, but I've seen a few people do it.

The biggest thing in my area is not signaling and changing directions quickly without notice. There's a crash on Franklin blvd almost every week because some idiot changed lanes too quickly or pulled out of a parking lot to turn right with traffic but decided to turn left without notice.]]>Jul 5th 2010 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/Jul 5th 2010 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/well in switzerland insurers want to put blackboxes in every car and even motorbikes

I was thinking the same thing, but then we're complaining about this technology being 'intrusive' (rather than 'obtrusive' as the article says)... so maybe we missed the point?

But personally, I'm much more concerned about it sharing details of my driving without my consent than taking over the wheel if it thinks I'm about to crash.]]>Jul 5th 2010 7:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/Jul 5th 2010 7:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/

Bad driving has killed millions of people already. So i don't think we've proven to be any more reliable than an AI.

I mean, even at the same timeline, car accidents due to a faulty human brain clearly outweigh car accidents due to faulty electronics.]]>Jul 5th 2010 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/

As a professional programmer, I wouldn't want to program for such vehicle just because of the sheer pressure. Imagine your car miscalculated that you were a bad driver and took over the control and still got into an accident because of that. Your insurance company won't believe you because it was the computer telling them you're a bad driver.

This is going to be a whole new generation of Toyota incident. Going way above just blaming a stuck accelerator.]]>Jul 5th 2010 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/

"Customers don't want to buy products that harm them."

Actually, these cars would help to take you out of the road before your bad driving gets yourself (and others) killed.

Anyway, i get the point. But it would've been better explained if you said: "Customers don't want a product that tells them, with irrefutable evidence, how much of a moron they are"]]>Jul 5th 2010 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/Jul 5th 2010 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/
However, if you agree to fit a tracking device and adhere to certain rules (maximum speed, curfew, etc) then you can get insurance premiums that are only stratospheric instead of utterly ridiculous.

For people who are otherwise in ludicrously high-risk groups (such as males under 21), fitting a spybox in your car is a great move if it cuts your insurance bill in half. Of course, you have to drive at legal speeds (and not in the middle of the night) but so what?

If males under 21 didn't consistently drive at 90mph through residential areas at 2am while high on drugs, this kind of thing wouldn't be necessary, but they do and it is.

Yes insurance companies make a lot of money but there's a reason why insurance can be so expensive - and if you want to prove you're not part of that reason, unfortunately devices like this might be necessary. It's not an attack on personal freedom, just a consumer option. If you want to keep your privacy, either deal with unaffordable insurance costs - or get a bicycle.]]>Jul 5th 2010 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/Jul 5th 2010 6:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/05/intel-connected-cars-will-record-your-bad-driving-for-posterity/
'If males under 21 didn't consistently drive at 90mph through residential areas at 2am while high on drugs, this kind of thing wouldn't be necessary, but they do and it is.'

Just like all women are bad drivers, old people drive slow and white-van-men are all aggressive, amirite?

Sorry I couldn't write a more engaging comment but being 20 years old I have more important things to do, like getting high and driving around my neighborhood at 90mph at 2AM.
