Can't wait to see this come to the dash boards of modern cars. Oh? You're trying to reverse and make use of your rear-view camera? Watch this 2 minute unskippable ad first.

what the fuck? isn't that a safety issue?

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

It’s only when in park I think…at least for now.

As much as there's ads on everything, using it on safety features would be grounds for a lawsuit

If that happens I'm backing over a child out of spite.

Your sentiment is understandable but I have some concerns. Children are usually pretty innocent, and worse, they're often very quick, and surprisingly resilient so even if you do hit them you might not even succeed at causing major injury.

I recommend reconsidering your strategy and backing over a senior citizen instead, it's almost as effective at creating public outrage, much more reliable, and ideally you might even be able to find a particular senior citizen who, for example, worked as a venture capitalist who funded this sort of technology or something else that implies some measure of responsibility, making multiple contributions to the cause at once and providing some form of karmic justice to the world.
