Another Canadian driver and Canadianhauler21 Thank this.

Here's more food for thought, you have such a problem being recorded as you're driving that it's clearly causing some anger to the point that here we are on the internet discussing it ,but think about it, you're being recorded WAY more outside the truck than you ever will be inside of it....shouldn't THAT bother you more? Every time you go to Walmart, ATMS and banks, hospitals, cross the street at a crosswalk, you're being recorded. But there's nobody up at Parliament protesting that, that I'm aware of. Hard pressed to even find an internet forum even talking about it.

I'm from England, over there you'll almost never see a police patrol car on the road. There are so many cameras all linked to computers which have records of current insurance, road tax, ownership , reg plate, color, etc any discrepancyand here's your ticket. You'll almost never see anyone very the speed limit anymore, over the last few years the cameras work out the average speed between cameras and automatically send out your ticket to the registered owner with 5 days to give up the drivers name or else etc. It has its benefits at times; some old girl with alzheimers wanders off from her carer in a city centre and gets on a bus ( old people travel free and rarely get asked for their pass) then in their confusion gets off somewhere and walks about looking for their husband who died years ago all the while getting colder and colder and more spaced our. In 5 minutes a good operator can trace her journey and find her. In a short time AI will do it in seconds.
I know it's coming, but I am too old a dog for new tricks, and I'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming into that brave new world, and it's the only good thing about being already a pensioner that if I had to stop it won't really bother me, I'd rather it was in my time rather than anyone else's but I wouldn't be able to handle big brother looking at me.Another Canadian driver, gokiddogo, BigHossVolvo and 1 other person Thank this. -
Well hopefully canadians can be prodded back into reality pretty soon and take that turdeau goof out of parliament with a noose around his neck like he deserves and we can have our calm polite country back and get back to having manners, courtesy and trust in our citizens....until then, robots and f***in cameras will be our future
Another Canadian driver, gokiddogo and dunchues Thank this. -

Thanks for all your replies. The one company I worked for had the samsara AI crap that flagged for setting the AC and just reaching for my sunglasses. I left after a week.
I have my own dash cam and driver cam that I purchased on Amazon, i dont have a problem with it because only i have access to the footage. We are a small fleet of about 20 trucks, only 2 dispatchers and no safety "officers". We were told that it's incase of an accident and I know it's BS.
But I'll drive for a week and if it's one of those AI cams I'll be out a few days after.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -

As for your incessant analogies about somebody rear ending the schmuck that cut them off, first of all they would deserve it. Second, try that once in a truck with the collision mitigation crap.Another Canadian driver, Canadianhauler21, Magoo1968 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Good attitude to have genius! It doesn't matter if they deserve it or not, we all know they deserve it, the camera can also see when something is un-avoidable, it helps you in court. I can't believe that even needed to be said yikes...your ignorance is actually shocking.
Another Canadian driver Thanks this.
