Comment on Emergency Braking Will Save Lives. Automakers Want to Charge Extra for It

I’m all for forcing manufacturers to implement these safety features but you damn well better make a fuckin law that says they can’t pass the cost onto the consumer.

Getting tired of shit going up in price by a few thousand dollars every time something is added.

Although tbf I honestly think traffic laws should be much more strict and be taken much more seriously.

If you force them to spend hundreds to thousands installing a LIDAR system in each vehicle why can’t they get that money back?

Enforcing traffic laws would be the cheaper solution

  More policing is never the cheaper solution.

  Because they have the money to spare. And if they don’t why are they always reporting record profits?

    The US auto sector is experiencing record profits? Since when did that start? There was a blip during covid but most have been down since 2008 or so.

    The auto industry is absolutely not posting record profits

Too late, the ultracapitalists already won America. We’re all fucked.
