00:01:00.100 Listen, all you New Yorkers.
00:01:02.560 You mean taxi?
00:01:04.000 Okay, then you want to look around.
00:01:05.300 This is the 77
00:01:07.140 WABC Minicast.
00:01:11.860 We'll go off topic
00:01:13.400 a little bit from the
00:01:15.760 assassination
00:01:16.860 attempt.
00:01:19.120 This is something, you know,
00:01:21.080 if you listen to my show, you'll
00:01:23.260 understand i i love technology i love it i love what they're coming up with new things i try to
00:01:32.560 see the good in it uh i guess that's my being naive uh i i have a new vehicle that i picked up
00:01:42.960 a couple of weeks ago and the technology in it is astounding it's fantastic i love learning about
00:01:50.680 every little button and thing it does and uh then i start reading some other stuff new car
00:02:00.080 kill switch a new car kill switch now what would this be needed for i would like if it was available
00:02:09.320 to us right there a button maybe someone gets in a carjack your car and you hit that that would be
00:02:16.760 nice but that isn't what i'm talking about at all uh here it is all vehicles manufactured in
00:02:22.760 2027 i don't know if this is actually passed yet but this is what they want to do and
00:02:31.700 this story says that it's already through biden did this by the way this was a biden thing that
00:02:38.680 was shoved into some other bill i think it was a green energy bill that's by the way what got
00:02:46.000 obama to put that button in your car that if you don't press it your car shuts off at a red light
00:02:52.660 that was obama and biden came up with this thing all vehicles manufactured in 2027 will officially
00:03:03.760 be required to come equipped with advanced impaired driving prevention technology
00:03:10.420 now you think this sounds okay if somebody's drunk why they shouldn't be able to drive a car
00:03:20.880 uh how does this work under the new law automakers must install install systems
00:03:26.660 that use cameras and ai there's that ai again to monitor driver behavior tracking things like
00:03:34.900 eye movement and attention levels if impairment is detected the system will activate and kill
00:03:43.440 switch will prevent the vehicle from operating whoo a kill switch in your car controlled by ai
00:03:50.300 and cameras watching your every move um was that is that a good idea do you like this
00:03:58.920 you own your car at least you thought you did you know there are certain things you buy that
00:04:07.500 you feel like you don't really own a house your property don't pay your taxes it's not your house
00:04:13.440 or property anymore so you kind of feel like do i really own this thing even if the mortgage is
00:04:19.320 paid off but a vehicle you pay for the whole vehicle you should be able to drive it do whatever
00:04:27.360 you want i want to drive it off a cliff let me do that um but they're making it where someone
00:04:35.040 somewhere or no one ai and cameras can shut your vehicle off you cannot drive it and i saw a few
00:04:48.340 videos of people that are concerned that perhaps if you're in a a panic situation
00:04:56.280 let's say uh someone was trying to carjack you and you shut the door and now you want to drive
00:05:04.660 away obviously as quickly as possible to a police station for safety and the cameras and ai detect
00:05:12.680 your eyes seem like they're watery maybe your pupils aren't the right size for somebody that
00:05:21.140 would be sitting in a seat relaxed and it's mimicking maybe impairment on drugs or alcohol
00:05:27.920 and it won't let you either start your car or put it in drive and now this hooligan outside has an
00:05:36.500 opportunity to bust the window and finish the job so this just seems like another thing
00:05:43.340 that might might not be a good thing and like everything else and I've said it before they
00:05:52.520 always present these things as convenience oh this is great I'll be able to sit in my car my
00:06:00.780 The car will watch me and listen to me and monitor what I do on the road and send it to my insurance company, who will give me a lower rate for being such a safe driver.
00:06:14.040 It never works that way.
00:06:16.220 They always wind up using it against you.
00:06:19.900 Everything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
00:06:24.300 That is for everything.
00:06:26.900 And it might not be a court of law.
00:06:29.100 it might but it might not be it might just be uh and anything can and will be used against you on
00:06:35.680 your insurance premiums or your medical insurance or anything else they will always use it against
00:06:45.480 you and when they're not using it against you they'll just sell it to market it um to other
00:06:53.140 people hey this guy falls in this demo we know what he likes we know what he talks about when
00:06:58.700 he drives we know what he listens to on his radio so a lot of vehicles with new technology and i've
00:07:07.280 noticed because the the vehicle i just bought has a lot of things that could be used uh as as a way
00:07:15.200 to uh make money off of you and uh what you're doing what you what you listen to what you say
00:07:23.240 There are sensors and cameras that the salesman pointed out up by the rearview mirror on the steering wheel, and it watches you.
00:07:35.600 It looks at your expressions and your eye movement and other things.
00:07:41.700 And again, this doesn't sound like something I would really want.
00:07:44.920 It doesn't sound like something that insurance companies and car manufacturers and the police or anyone else are going to look at and say, no, we'll just use it for the good of humanity and people because we all know where that goes.
00:08:02.800 And speaking of the police, there was something in one of these articles about this bill and the requirement for this technology in these vehicles, new vehicles, that they can afford.
00:08:18.540 it was ford motor company uh they patented a technology that will have cameras and sensors
00:08:27.800 in place and will look at you and send any information to a police computer and ai and
00:08:40.200 see if you are wanted by the cops maybe that's it maybe you're wanted uh that doesn't sound very
00:08:47.480 good and then the other thing is uh just a master switch let's say something like covid is going on
00:08:53.300 again and uh the powers that be don't want you to go out they don't want you spreading that covid
00:09:00.900 so they just hit the master switch now no one's car works now you're stuck at home and if you
00:09:08.400 don't think that could happen think back to covid and remember what they were doing to everybody
00:09:12.800 during that and you don't think if they had that technology they wouldn't have used it
00:09:17.300 When you travel well, your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines ticket takes you to more than just your destination.
00:09:25.620 It takes you to winding streets, spontaneous detours, and the realisation that neither of you is actually good with directions.
00:09:34.660 And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,
00:09:39.320 Welcome aboard KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:09:41.300 Our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.
00:09:45.320 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
00:09:47.300 When you travel, travel well.
00:09:49.840 A Safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors
00:09:52.400 making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:09:54.940 It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:09:58.440 And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:10:01.500 We're making every corner of Ontario safer
00:10:04.140 to make all of Ontario safer.
00:10:06.500 That's how we protect Ontario.
