Toyota has expanded its collaboration with Amazon Web Services in ways that will see many of its models upload performance data into the Amazonian cloud to expand the services the auto-maker offers to drivers and fleet owners.
Toyota already operates a “Mobility Services Platform” that it says helps it to “develop, deploy, and manage the next generation of data-driven mobility services for driver and passenger safety, security, comfort, and convenience”.
That data comes from a device called the “Data Communication Module” (DCM) that Toyota fits into many models in Japan, the USA and China.
Toyota reckons the data could turn into “new contextual services such as car share, rideshare, full-service lease, and new corporate and consumer services such as proactive vehicle maintenance notifications and driving behavior-based insurance.”

The company has touted that vision since at least the year 2016, but precious little evidence of it turning into products is available.

Saw an Aussie reviewing a new Hilux, during the drive a voice came on over the stereo reminding him to obey all traffic laws.

Fuck all this car share bullshit.

The days of rolling 10 over are coming to an end.  Eventually the car will override you and pretty soon after that you’ll just sit there as a passenger.

Soon after that we’ll get targeted assassinations by hacking the command computer and telling it to drive off a ravine or head on into a truck.

The only way this would be true would be if there was an alternative revenue generator or a national fully tax funded police force. I have a feeling we'll get both of those things when Democrats get control again and the tech is there to support it. The federal police is in the making now with all of these racist murders going on.

And that's why my 2001 Yukon will be with me until the end of my life.  No connection to the outside and it's easy to work on.

Or just a K5.

I'm tempted to buy an 85ish bronco as my next driver, keep it carbureted and on durasparkII.

That, or keep my current driver going for another 20 years.

Collaborators, eh?

They will spy on you and make you pay for the spying.  Something, something, build a wall and make somebody pay for it.  Just crazy talk.

Probably why I’ll never buy a new vehicle again. All the nannies are annoying as is without Big Brother getting in on the action.
