Don't like that such sensitive data would be transiting through private for-profit entities But there should definitely be a reevaluation of our expectations when it comes to licensed vehicles keeping their owners dirty secrets. 1) You are driving on a public road 2) The vehicle requires a permit 3) The road has traffic codes 4) You've decided to forego traffic codes. It's come to be expected that your car wouldn't rat on you because we had technology limitations. Should it be expected still? I don't think so... Maybe fuck the privacy of drivers and maybe cars should be expected to rat about their owners if they are to be allowed on public roads? There can be privacy on vehicles that don't require a license

Braking hard to avoid an animal, another car swerving into your path, or a sneaky-short yellow light are not "dirty secrets" or foregoing traffic codes. Accelerating, stopping hard? It totally depends on conditions. We're no more or less safe than we were before monitoring. And this is unagreed-to monitoring, via hidden channels. Let drivers in police states experience this first.

  It depends on conditions. You can think of various ways to gather more of them as cars get fancier, and other ways to part exceptions from a habit of bad driving to make sure that any case reported to a human isn't a waste of their time. Then for what goes through you've got a system to challenge fines already - something completely mandatory in such a system and which can only be achieved in a powerful democratic state
