When our GPS and traffic lights are networked; embracing "drones"

Our GPS units could tell us the speed to go to avoid red lights if they networked the GPS units in our car and the traffic lights. This is a step towards cars that drive themselves. Once we have cars that drive themselves then it would be possible to have flying cars that fly themselves because networked computers would avoid collisions. The technology for flying cars that fly themselves will come from the "drones" being developed by the military. Someday we will all have our own "drone" that we can ride in which is computer controlled and flies itself.

you can figure this out on your own if you drive the same roads every day.

not a movie. a real town in area 51 that the government uses to experiment with. People in that town dont know they live in a large country and are experimental subjects. they think what they see is the complete country.

Flying cars :lol
The late 1950s called, they want their visions back.
As for Area 51, I don't know? I had a neighbor that claimed he worked for Area 51 in the early 80s and he said that there were indeed expiraments being conducted but not of alien origin. Its a testbed for government vehicles and new technologies. He said that people did live on "base" but I dont anything else. He seemed fairly truthful to me, he wasnt your usual ufologist.

A few years ago I lived out in Santee California and we had some strange planes that would fly over the area. Not alien but government test flights, eventually the government released statements about Santee and government testing. So testing/Yes Aliens/Probably not

RUmpled suit you really are naive as to the reality we live in. PUBLIC CAMERA's NEVER bring transparency because they will only be used AGAINST YOU and never "against" the police.

have you not noticed how often "dash cam" footage just mysteriously vanishes or gets deleted it corrupted or "it was not turned on" when its the cop under suspicion.

the ONLY way for traffic camera's to help "US" if if the data is PUBLICLY controlled and its IMPOSSIBLE for government or police to "EVER" under ANY CONDITIONS WHATSOEVER turn them off or alter that data.

this will NEVER happen so public camera's will ALWAYS be at tool for tyranny. period.

I have already decided to learn to play with "face paint makeup" I just found out if you put 2 high contrast geometric shapes on your cheeks in black and white and something to block the bridge of your nose (easy for me as I wear glasses) then automated tracking software can't see your face as a "face"

does not stop live tracking but it does stop automated tracking.

nerys:
Tampering with and destroying evidence is a large leap from an officer testifying of events in the way he likes to remember them. The evidence of a mysterious disappearance of a dashcam recording is much better than no recording at all. As the price of cameras comes down then much of the recording will be done by private citizen's security systems--in other words the government's cameras will not be the only cameras recording. It is inevitable that in the near future cameras will be in all public places. This should be part of the discussions concerning Internet censorship and gun control otherwise future generations could be a "slave to the machine" in which elections are rigged for the "good" of the people and the "lazy" are efficiently punished for being lazy.

The best defense against tyranny is a uncensored internet. Congress should reverse policies enacted a decade ago by the FCC and reclassify broadband service as a telecommunications service. Just as the telephone companies cannot now moderate your phone conversations, the owners of broadband Internet lines should not be allowed to interfere with what online content civilians have access to.

We already have enough gun laws. A felon will be arrested if they are in possession of a gun. It is not reasonable to take drastic measures to make it more difficult for felons to buy non-stolen guns because that will merely increase the price of stolen guns on the black-market—which will increase the number of home burglaries because it becomes worth the effort to steal guns if the price for stolen guns goes higher. Right now stolen guns are cheaper than retail and easy to buy from a drug dealer. We need to reform the major cause of violence which is the Drug War. Our incarceration rates are insane/unbelievable. The 1920’s proved prohibition causes violence. Marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol so it should be taxed and regulated like alcohol. Keeping marijuana illegal creates a distribution network for meth/crack/heroin and stolen guns. The illegal stolen guns usually used to commit crime are bought from drug dealers. The User and Dealer are able to establish that they are not cops by making the first transaction about illegal but socially acceptable marijuana. If marijuana was sold in a gas station then Users would not be introduced to meth/crack/heroin by their Marijuana dealers.

I am already a slave to the traffic light. In the near future there will be high-definition digital cameras in nearly all public places. I welcome them because it will give transparency to "policing".
Yeah, the public ones get turned off, lost etc. with alarming regularity.
However, anyone can get 2-3 cheap web cams for < $100 total that upload automatically to the cloud as well as local. A couple for your house, and one on your property pointing down the street.

HPWREN has a network of cameras under university control, a step better than your friendly local government agency.

Al smart phones now can auto-load to the cloud. Good for citizen reporting. News networks are now worthless.

and this is why they push to make it illegal to film police (thankfully SOME courts are resisting this!!)

this is why police TAKE camera's this is why police DESTROY camera's they are roaches and do not want the light shining on them as they break the law.

so unless the PEOPLE are in total control "AND" the watchers are in fact WATCHED. ie the politicians should be ON CAMERA for the public to see at ALL TIMES when conducting public business with VERY few exceptions.

secrecy out of necessity is understood and valid but as soon as the necessity is gone the footage that IS recorded but not made public shall be made public.

IE government should be 99% transparent. period. until it is so long as THEY control when "we" can see "them" such a system is doomed to failure.

one of my favorite television scenes was from STARGATE. the race they met who had way more tech than them. with the ion canons. remember what the one shrodingers cat guy said when he realized that the prime minister had lied to the people and deleted footage from her office.

it was the HIGHEST CRIME in their society as it should be in OUR society.
