Not sure how I feel about this?

The one thing that I think would be a huge advantage of all this tech is to clean things up.
Especially on the road in your car. If traffic signage could be displayed on your windshield in the same kind of way we view it now, all the millions upon millions of roadside signs and reflectors could be removed, doing much to beautify our roads and highways.
It'd be a huge cost savings, too.

The problem I have with all the tech is not really the anonymity aspect, but privacy.
Nobody cares who I am unless I'm doing something that's private. This kind of tech is two-way. It comes in and goes out. It'll take kids 15 minutes to hack it, and video of any part of our lives can and will end up shared with everyone in the world against our wishes. And it ain't gonna be video of me making scrambled eggs.

And the gubmint, for our own good, will ~remove~ all non-compliant cars. Replacing them with the new models that are linked to our DNA. So they can see ~exactly~ where you "subversive" types are. it's really "for the good of the country... and for the chilllllldrun, and the environment....."

Oh, absolutely, Pete.
And they'll send all your traffic citations right to your cell phone. And they'll be able to smell the dead hookers in the trunk.
I'll just stay home, Amazon will bring me everything I need.
Did you see the last 60 Minutes? They're working on little helicopters so they can deliver your order in under 30 minutes. If I build a conveyor from the helipad to the couch, I'll never have to move again. Nobody is gonna want to watch me stink in HD. I'll be perfectly safe.

Here's that Amazon helicopter deal. It starts at 11:00, but the whole thing is very much worth watching.
