Guess I'll keep repairing my '99 for the rest of my life.
Also, can't we just find out where the sensors are and cover them? I mean maybe that would also keep the car from starting.
I don't know. I just know this is such a massively stupid thing that I doubt it'll actually happen. Lawsuits. Massive sales drops for any company doing it.
IV got a 2012 civic, and I learned recently that Japanese drivers swap out engines at like 40k miles and sell them to us on the cheap. When my baby goes out, you can bet I'm breathing new life into her
40k miles is nothing for a 2012 Honda... Keep up with oil changes, replace the timing belt, etc. and that shit could run for up to 8x that.
I think you misunderstood my comment. I'm at 400k currently. Gonna replace the engine with a barley touched 40k when it dies
Oh, I wasn't arguing, I was just pointing out that the new engine will last forever
Hell yea man, that's the whole point
It would be massively bandwidth and processing intensive to actually watch you in your car the actual thing would be in your engine computer and watching you drive like an asshole and because so many people drive like assholes it would have to catch really really obvious signs like weaving, driving extra slow, abrupt stops and starts.
Basically the sort of things you would be able to tell as a fellow driver watching from the outside. The hilarious thing is that there are a LOT of old people whose ability to drive is actually seriously impaired by age related issues and young people who are impaired by their fucking phone who would certainly constantly trip this. The former at least are consistent voters.
