If I had a phone set up like that, and, say, ICE or TSA took it, what would they be able to get from it?
Depends on what state it’s in. If it’s in lockdown mode, nothing. GOS blocks all access to data via the USB. If it’s unlocked, everything that’s not locked by further authentication.
but what’s to keep them from just beating it out of you
Nothing. That doesn’t mean you should willingly consent to it.
This isn’t about what police can do
You can be required to unlock your device
Sure seems like it’s about what police can do. And no, they cannot force you to do that.
but I think it’d be easier to explain than a factory stock pay as you go phone.
You do not need to and should not explain anything. Don’t answer any questions.
Using lockdown is the same thing as restarting, it puts it into a BFU state.
Thank you for your permission
If they move in front of me, so what?
Then you’re no longer doing what you said you were doing…?
They’ll be at the following distance I’m maintaining because they’re continuing to move faster.
…what? That’s not how distance works? If you’re 300 ft behind and someone cuts in 100 feet in front of you, you’re now at a following distance of 100 feet. Congratulations, you’ve just failed the objective. Then you slow down, but that doesn’t matter because this happens over and over again as people try to get around you.
I’ll go on doing exactly what you think isn’t possible anyway
No you wont LOL. You’re lying.
the solution is to slow until the following distance is enough for your speed.
I don’t know what part of “that’s not possible” and “drivers will cut in front of you like a waterfall” you’re not understanding
the tested stopping distance for my car and 60-0 is about 120 feet
You drive a Corvette or something?
If you can see any flaws in my logic or math, I’d love to hear it.
The only mistake I see is that you made it unnecessarily complicated and still arrived at the same answer but stopped short of acknowledging that people cannot possibly drive on a crowded freeway with a football field following distance.
at the very least, if we’re not in a middle lane and there’s a shoulder, we should at least be able to dodge them if needed.
And if you are?
I spent several months refusing to drive over 55 mph
Run this experiment again at 55MPH and you’ll get similar results.
just about any accident…is likely avoidable
“Just about” is doing a lot of work there. I maintain this particular situation is unavoidable.
Im talking about the freeway, yes.
I know math, so let’s do some of that:
The braking distance of a typical sedan at 70mph is 210 feet. Add another 70 feet for a reaction time and you’re talking about an entire football field of following distance. And that’s assuming you drive a sedan.
There’s simply no way you can maintain that in a dense urban environment. Other drivers will cut in front of you like a waterfall. It’s nothing to do with what kind of person you are.
You definitely do not.
Not if you have the following distance to stop
Maintaining a stopping distance like that is nigh impossible in a dense urban area. You’d be constantly cut off and causing tons of traffic.
And I will point out that if the car in front of you isn’t paying attention and rams a stopped car in the middle of the road, you are fucked no matter what.
Isnt that exactly what Deepseek did?
Can this be solved with just cameras
Theoretically yes, but in reality, not with current technology.
but thought that would only be effective short range
LIDAR actually has quite a long range. You can look up some of the images LIDAR creates, they’re pretty comprehensive.
Ask the KIA boys how much they care about murder charges.
Once that happens, Level 4 driving will come standard
Uhhhh absolutely not. They would abandon it first.
None of those countries are trying to dismantle encryption entirely so no, I disagree.
