Would you buy an intelligent car that phones the cops if you break the law?

>A drink-driver has been arrested after their car automatically alerted police that it had been involved in a crash.

>The Ford Fiesta contacted the authorities following the incident in Aghalee, Co Antrim, on Saturday night.

>Several car companies already offer emergency call options in the case of a collision, using either a phone built into the vehicle or by linking automatically through a driver's mobile.

>From April 2018 all new cars in Europe will have to be equipped with co-called eCall technology which, in the event of an accident, will contact rescue services, giving details of things including the location and time of the crash, and the direction of travel.

Fuck no, I'm keeping my 1999 shitbox honda for life.

That guy should consider himself lucky. He could have committed vehicular manslaughter and spent the rest of his life in jail.

I'll just drive a S660

It didn't phone him because he broke the law, it phoned because he got into an accident and didn't disable it.

The 911 Assist feature in Fords defaults to on and can be disabled if desired, I have a 2015 Ford Fusion.

This, a Honda that's looked after should outlive you, and it'll never rat you out to the po-po.
>>
So what happens when the car is 20 years old and the first gen eCall tech is no longer supported?
Do they simply make the car illegal to own, since it can no longer rat you out to the police?

And this will definitely happen, the first rollout of OnStar GM cars used analog transmitters that were deprecated by the manufacturer and no longer compatible.

>opt out
The only reason to make anything opt-out is if you know that nobody fucking wants it.

Shitty clickbait, nothing to see here folks.

No but I'd buy a self-driving one so I can't be held legally responsible for any accidents as well as be able to drive while drunk.

"No."
P.S. The word is accountable. You sound even less intelligent when your idiocy is garnished with illiteracy.

>he thinks the car will be a legal entity / the manufacturer is always accountable is the event of a collision
The first public death caused by a self-driving car is going to be such a clusterfuck.
