The benefit, one day, is if you're a criminal whose face is detected, the car doors will lock, and you'll be driven directly to law enforcement who will be ready and waiting to apprehend you.
- namrog84 5y agoAlthough possible. I suspect and hope there will be some push back. Imagine a counterpoint in either a bug or malicious attack where innocent person is locked in and then driven into a lake or something. I dont think autonomous cars should be able to lock people in. The car can report to police silently, that's fine.
- asdff 5y agoSeems like it would be a lot less dramatic to just trigger a head on collison on the highway which you could do today if you broke into the tesla fsd system.
- 988747 5y ago>> The car can report to police silently, that's fine. No, it should not do even that. You are making an assumption here that police/government always have good intentions. What society needs is kind of power balance: law enforcement being able to catch 98% of criminals is a noble goal, but pushing that number up to 100% is not possible in democratic society, it requires totalitarian control. That's why we need to make a choice here and oppose surveillance, event if it seems well intentioned.
- itisit 5y agoThis is basically the point I was trying to provoke. We forfeit a good bit of our privacy and autonomy with these technologies. Rather disgusting how convenience always wins.
- wubbert 5y agoThat won't ever happen. If it did, it would disproportionately affect people of color, be declared a racist "feature," and be banned.

- itisit 5y agoWow...spot on! That was a fun read. I don’t think the scenario is that outlandish.
