  • “wait why is the car storing all that data in the first place?”

    I’ll bite. In the 1980s, AUDI/VW was sued for “sudden acceleration”, which was Americans mashing the gas pedal by mistake. Then it was Toyota in 2019, but they proved with data black boxes that the crying Karens on TV were lying. But, not all Toyotas had black boxes and they still paid out $1B in settlements. Same thing with Tesla, but those lawsuits ended quickly when data showed driver fault.

    Amazingly, while these cars were sold worldwide, only one country reported “sudden acceleration”. Now people are trying to sue for FSD crashes and again, Tesla data revealed improper use of FSD.

    People are making expensive warranty claims after abusing their vehicles. Every shop in Americe now installs anti-tank barriers because off the number of Boomers flying into the shops when they hit the wrong pedal.

    So, if you are a large automaker, and you aren’t collecting data, you will be sued for a phantom in your cars by America’s massive industry of ambulance chasers. Literally billions of dollars are spent on frivolous auto lawsuits.
