  • I'm a man who was sexually abused by a woman when I was a child. If I point out that the sign in the thumbnail is both untrue and is a dangerous oversimplification am I a rape apologist?

  • The whole "people can't be illegal" thing is an attempt to bypass negative attitudes people have towards people who - ya know - break the law and violate the sovereignty of the country they're in. It's what dovetails with rebranding to saying "migrants", it's a bald-faced attempt to manipulate the public and get them to accept people jumping borders and overstaying visas.

  • Sure, but it's on the list.

    If it saves even one human life it's worth switching to an alarm instead of immobilization, even if that means hundreds of breakaway cables get snapped by morons driving away from chargers.

    1. It's about hitting electric cars, self driving or otherwise.
    2. Cars can still move with punctured tires, at least far enough that a would-be robber or carjacker could get dragged a good distance.
    3. You smash the window and open the door. Now the panicked driver is speeding away, leaving you high and dry or dragging you along.

    Being able to completely immobilize a vehicle while keeping it intact is a criminal's wet dream. It's incumbent on car manufacturers to consider that while implementing safety features.

  • Pry bar to open the hatch, like I said.

    And yes, today people are walking around with angle grinders to chop off catalytic converters.

  • The difference being that not being able to start the motor with the door open is only a problem if the driver was being attacked in a parking lot.

    It's not too big of a leap to imagine a world where a person could immobilize a car at a red light with the plug cut off from a public charger. Wall up to a stopped car, open the hatch (maybe it needs a pry bar) and put the dummy plug in. Now the car is immobilized. Smash the driver side window and they're in business.

    Sure, there are some safeguards that can be added like requiring a current to immobilize the vehicle, but it's far from the simplest or safest answer. Car manufacturers need to stop putting in hard limits and just use alarms instead. I bought a new Subaru that has collision detection standard. The hedge next to my driveway was overgrown, but I drove right through it. The car sounded an alarm and flashed a bunch of lights, but it didn't engage the brakes, I was able to blast through an obstacle that I knew was minor even though the car thought it was a threat. If a manufacturer feels compelled to add a safety system, it's possible to do so without taking control away from the driver.
