Shut up slave! Technology must control you to keep you safe. by Roop 05/23/2016, 2:10pm PDT
A couple years ago I parked in the supermarket parking lot after a fresh snowstorm, in the back, for some reason I swung around where the employees usually park and saw an old lady parked in her fancy old lady car, and she was frantic, trying to get my attention yelling and waving. Couldn't hear her though, she was sealed in, and it was cold as fuck. She got in her car after shopping, and when she tried to start her engine I guess it drained her battery, and the car helpfully locked all her door. I examined those locks. No way to manually pull them up. The little levers went down into their holes flush. She would yank the handle to open, and this new car wouldn't open even if it's locked like a decent old car like a Pinto. Hey Pintos might explode if you get rear ended, but at least the doors opened so you could get the hell out. This car, I guess to catch teenagers stealing cars for joyrides, like imprisons you when you run out of gas or power. I can think of plenty of situations where I would lose power and want to get the fuck out of the car. Of course this old lady didn't have a cell phone. So it was time for her to die, I guess. Luckily I had jumper cables. I guess car thieves don't get jumps so the doors unlocked.
