I'm surprised car companies haven't already partnered with governments to have the vehicles themselves snitch on the occupants. Why install these camera systems all over the place when the vehicles themselves collect ridiculous amounts of data with greater accuracy? I'm sure the car companies would love the additional revenue stream and the governments would love the greater surveillance capabilities.
Cause no one would buy a car from a company that does this
Companies will band together to force unpopular changes. They're already doing it with ridiculous pay-to-unlock-features-already-on-the-vehicle-through-software features.
Yeah, but it doesn't really benefit the automotive manufacturers to snitch on speeders.
