OBD 3 snitching on my driving? Yeah, I'll keep driving my 90s shitboxes for the rest of eternity

[MaceWindowsXP]

If OBD3 ends up being used to increase insurance rates further across the entire industry, I will never buy a new car again. Even if I won the lottery.

[edugj]

This is when it becomes so relevant to fight for the right to repair, privacy and safety.

[VinceroAlpha]

It never ceases to amaze me how you can break down, complicated and otherwise boring topics into fascinating and mind blowing starting points for the average user. Even if they are not gear heads. I missed this series!

[jahanzebrr]

bro's editor must be getting paid in gold bars for such bomb editing!!!!

[MasterDebator-lu]

I knew all this and have been rallying against the selling data portion for years now. You sir have done it more articulately and succinctly than I could have imagined. Subscribed. Sidenote, it’s the same reason all my cars are roughly 20+ years old

[TheWeavingBagel]

When I heard OBD III I thought it was going to be a basic improvement like USB-C but holy crap I hope it never goes into effect.

[ngauruhoezodiac]

Los Angeles has had pollution problems for decades. It is surrounded by three mountain ranges which trap the polluted air in. It was not only automobiles, which used leaded gasoliñe, but also industrial pollution that forced LA to close factories on several occasions.

[Firefrei]

Restrictions like those in the video for “OBD III” would only increase the demand for backdoors and get arounds. There will always be those who will break the law to make a profit. Who knows, OBD III could be just a breakable as the r35 ecu when Nissan said it was uncrackable

[mrassassinscreedfan]

If that obd3 becomes widespread in newer vehicles i can see a serious collapse in the market as people just refuse to buy new vehicles

[JhennyMo]

Government: Hey we gotta clear the air a bit
Manufacturer: Okay
Tuner: I am gonna end the career of this new invention

[CruelUnknown]

Crazy that this is absolutely possible. And I don't think enough people will care enough for it not to happen.
Maybe next they can mail me a speeding ticket when the gps sees me driving 55 in a 50.

[rockrocks]

My entire life (late Millenial), cars have consistently gotten more expensive, less repairable, and are now becoming tracking devices. The only genuine improvements are small conveniences like backup cameras, power windows, and better fuel economy.

[PedroFerrer-vqsw]

Here California gasers before 75 and Diesels before 97 don’t need smog checks making them gold for anyone who likes modification.

[kylecurry]

I can't give this one enough thumbs up, not because of Cali, but because it's so informative. I might have said this before, but you never fail to deliver a new favorite episode Jay!

[jorgeposadas]

I still use old ass technology to keep my cars safe from being stolen, a very simple thing called a kill switch.

[fox.fernando]

Bro really turned a 3 month smog class into a 16 minute video

[crw]

Bro great educational video as always!

But these obdII port are next level intrusive! Had a coworker go to jail based on information received from the obdII port! Same way a mechanic can receive information, law enforcement is using information on very bad accidents.

I work for a utility company that has cameras in all of their vehicles. The camera is also plugged into the OBDII port. When you stop or maneuver abruptly the camera is trigger to take a 16 second snap shot of your driving. 10 seconds prior to going off and 6 seconds after the incident.

The point I'm making is the information the camera and it's system gets from the OBDII, tells my supervisor with telemetry, how fast I was going, how hard I was accelerating, how much I was applying the brake, if I was wearing my seat belt, did I use my indicator, were my headlights on! In a nut shell, what ever the OBDII see can and will be used against you!

All these new electric smart cars 🚗 that can drive by themselves, will all start returning to the dealership or leasing companies when money 💰 is owed!

I can see law enforcement using technology to shut down cars in the near future, specially EV and highly computerize cars!

Mark my words!🤔

You could have a 10, 000, 000 part series starting with “how California ruined”.

I won't lie. But you are one of the underrated YouTubers in the automotive world. Your content is so interesting and I learn a lot.
