All about the spy car - Il Giornale


And to think that when we were young – how deluded – we were convinced that technology, accompanied by intelligent regulation, would improve our lives. And instead it has become our life.

Let’s take the example of road traffic. Suicide cycle paths have arrived (welcome to Milan), scooters (let’s hope it’s a passing fad), devices that calibrate the maximum speed of cars, then speed cameras that do not serve to reduce accidents but to increase fines (and we discovered that they are also illegal), then the 30 km/h frenzy arrived and now it’s just a patent, let’s hope everything goes badly here is the spy car.

Ford is experimenting with a system whereby its cars, through on-board cameras, directly report vehicles that exceed the speed limit to the traffic police. If the system detects that someone around us is driving faster than the speed limit, we can take a photo of the license plate so that the owner of the offending vehicle will be sent a notification of the fine by the relevant authority. For a liberal (even a lukewarm one), it’s more or less hell.

They are thinking about the name

of the new model. We propose «Ford Giuda». As testimonial Alessandro Gassmann. And as standard equipment the membership card of the Democratic Party. Slogan: «Drive safely in the ZTL with the infa-mobile».

Beppe Sala will make it mandatory in Milan.
