  • Dude, in today’s world we’re lucky if they stop at the manufacturer. I know of a few insurances that have contracts through major dealers and they just automatically get the data that’s registered via the cars systems. That way they can make better decisions regarding people’s car insurance.

    Nowadays it’s a red flag if you join a car insurance and they don’t offer to give you a discount if you put something like drive pass on which logs you’re driving because it probably means that your car is already getting that data to them.


  • This right here is another fault in regulation that eventually will catch up because Especially with level three where it’s primarily the vehicle driving and the driver just gives periodic input It’s not the driver that’s in control most of the time. It’s the vehicle so therefore It should not be the driver at fault

    Honestly, I think everything up to level two should be drivers at fault because those levels require a constant driver’s input. However, level three conditional driving and higher should be considered liability of the company unless the company can prove that the autonomous control, handed control back to the driver in a human-capable manner (i.e Not within the last second like Tesla currently does)










  • Personally speaking, intentionally not using or collecting credit in this world is dumb. It’s shooting yourself in the foot for basically everything longterm wise. This can be from rental agreements to buying a house to buying a car. Anything that needs to show trustworthiness. It’s stupid, but it’s how this world operates.

    I would highly recommend reconsidering your mentality that you’ve given up on credit.

    Also regarding the fraud. Hopefully you are currently mid battle on that because it’s not fair for you to have bad credit due to identity fraud and generally when proven that someone stole your identity they reverse all charges(for you) and reverse the credit score that went with it., After all, you never actually spent the money. But that’s a long and lengthy battle




  • I think I agree with most of the replies here saying that the way it was handled was rude. If the opening response to me talking to someone was like that, I would feel like, okay, who pissed in your cheerios and I would have walked off.

    Like others have said, there’s more to the solution than a yes or no. I personally think “depends on the favor” , is a very appropriate response, or a “maybe what do you want” Or if you’re planning on saying no regardless, do it how you did, without calling the other person creepy, its just extremly rude to assume someone is a creep while also shutting them down before they can actually talk.


  • I don’t foresee Google as in a hardware/phone supplier company ever doing that. The chance of monopoly due to other clauses are too high.

    Being said, I do foresee them introducing a way in Android to restrict sideloading completely, so it imitates how Apple has their environment. However, I don’t foresee it becoming super popular, especially with how hard the EU is pushing for people to have more freedom with their devices.
