This week, we're joined by auto journalist Victoria Scott (@mikurubaeahina) about new developments in automotive surveillance. As in: what if your car was the cops, recorded everything you ever did in the car, was accessible by the other cops via forensic devices, could be monitored without a warrant, and had no option for you to shut this off? Well, apparently that's 90% of cars made since 2008 already.

Victoria has managed to make me feel better about my aging Korean econo box car lol. 2011 but because it was cheap and outdated when new it doesn't have an infotainment system.

have you seen Doug DeMuro's review of his cameraman's 2003 Kia Spectra? I think that vid was so good it got me into like counterculture auto journalism

Yup. What's wild is currently i do care quite a lot about my Hyundai because the used car market is deranged right now. I wreck that thing and I'm paying 1000s for some shitbox in way worse shape that won't be nearly as reliable.

that perfect golden era between "ECU and EFI becomes good" and "turbos and computers everywhere"
