Things and Stuff

Legendary Keith Richard’s

Tesla was able to transmit both radio waves and electric power between continents, without the need for wires.

This American woman was driving a brand new 2026 vehicle when it suddenly alerted her, indicating that it couldn’t detect her eyes. The car automatically disabled the gas, leading to a near-accident.

To get the facial recognition system to register her eyes and deactivate the “kill switch,” she had to lean forward, as the car assumed she might be asleep.

“It was a 6 lane highway and all of a sudden the gas stopped working and I'm pressing on the gas. I can't get the car to go. So the car is dinging, it's making all this noise and I can't figure out what's going on. And I look at the dashboard and in English it says, sit up straight. We can't find your eyes.

Why? Why do you need to see my eyes? — when I sat upright, the gas would work once again. And so I pressed the gas, but I was slowing down enough that it was gonna cause a traffic hazard.

And the thing is, it knew I wasn't asleep because I was pressing on the gas. So it knew I was awake. It just wanted to see my eyes. So once I set upright and leaned forward, I guess it did facial recognition. And then it says, may I send you these results to a third party.”

This is truly alarming, especially with the new regulations requiring kill switches in all new vehicles by 2027. It seems like it's already being implemented in other countries, and we’re just next in line.

The privacy aspect is bad enough, but it is far worse.

There have been errors in the systems already in place. The car thinks you fell asleep and so it throttles down. Unfortunately, you're not asleep, but you are on the freeway. That kind of thing.
