What happens when some tagger paints S—T on the sign. Does the car stop and lets one go?

What if this brainiac Ford misses a 15mph sign in a school zone and some kid is killed? Oh well.

I definitely see myself not buying a Ford.

Fiat and Nissan have been tinkering with variations of this technology, too. It'll pretty much be universal at some point.

You’re right, of course, and by FR standards there’s probably no vehicle brand that can produce ideological purity.

Welp, I think I’ll buy a Harley at that point.

if everyone else is on rails, I might finally be able to feel safe on a bike.
