Nobody prefers to die. It's the part where it's capable of being active all the time that's worrying.
You also can't control the mandatory microphone. How long until someone abuses that (if it hasn't happened already)?
- frafra 4y agoThe device is built and tested according to some well-defined specifics; it is not connected to the network, and it is not capable of recording more than 3 positions and send them if an accident occurs, as well as establishing a phone call. Anything else is a violation perpetrated the manufacturer, as well as faking the specific tests that are formulated to check if the device is compliant: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32017R0079 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex:32... Abuses can always happen, and we should put reasonable checks in place to avoid them. Is the current regulation good enough to minimize the risk of having them? I hope so.
