As the 21st century advances, it is becoming clear that we are not simply living in George Orwell’s 1984, but we in fact have exceeded Orwell’s wildest nightmares.
Case in point is a mind-blowing incident in Florida. Cathy Bernstein was having a regular day when the police came knocking at her door, asking about her potential involvement in a hit-and-run.
But it was the source of the police’s information that made the affair incredible: apparently, her car had dialed 9/11 and tipped police off to Bernstein’s involvement in said hit-and-run.
As it turns out, Bernstein’s vehicle, a newer model from Ford, is one of 10 million vehicles put out by the company that possess what is called the “911 Alert” feature. What happens is that the car automatically calls authorities in the case of an accident, potentially saving lives but also potentially incriminating thousands.

I’ll stick to low tech cars…
my dad use to always say the more gadgets you have on anything means it is more things that will go wrong. I found out thats the truth. I bought a washing machine for 349.00 it wasnt fancy didnt have all kind of buttons or knobs on it my daughter is now using it .I gave it to her when i bought a new one paying over 1,000 for it it has all the whistles and bells. nothing but trouble. I like simple they last longer with less problems…
Today , anything that is ” smart ” means less privacy & you are being watched !
When you get your new car…..spend the weekend stripping half the electronic technology out if it. Go retro on tech..it will still run.
You beat me to it. lol. I was going to say the same thing.
