How will this prevent the cagers from squishing cyclists,
pedestrians and animals? Will all of the latter have to be equipped
with transponders?

Probably. I think we are talking about a single chip. Since most
people carry a cell phone with them these day with location
electronics, maybe the law requires a transponder capability like the
law now require location to be determined by each cell phone for 911
responses.

If motor vehicles are developed that will not hit each others, that
will make the cagers even more careless about cyclists and pedestrians.

We are heading to the where the car will not be able to easily hit
anything with a transponder, including people and pets. The car
will automatically brake for example to keep from hitting a child
that runs out into the road. That should not be hard once
transponders become common.

Congress people really want the capability for "zero deaths" on the
road that they can brag about pushing when running for reelections.
Zero death is probably impossible even though we are getting near
that for large passenger jets.

All that is needed is adding microphones and cameras to the
transponders - then the government can achieve the long awaited goal
of regulating behavior of people in their homes behind closed doors.

Scheiss, imagine Jack's tv shouting out, "Mr May, stop that or you will
go blind!"


That would only happen during a GM commercial. WTF is this thread doing
in a transit group anyway? Jack's a troll.
