Illinois HB 4948 Which just passed both legislative branches. If you get two speeding tickets within one year, Requires a speed limiting device, that you must pay for monthly, be installed in your car for three years. The car must be 1996 or newer, otherwise you just lose your license for 3 years. @PekalaLaw @illinoispolicy @IsIllinois @GodPricker @Williamjkelly @ChicagoContrar1 @SecondCityCop @DanButtersChi

I found this article in an old Chicago Tribune from the 70’s. This guy figured out 3D printing in the 70’s BERKELEY, Cal. [UPI]-Wyn Kelly Swainson, a young man with a degree in English literature and little science knowledge, wondered why someone had not invented a way to reproduce works of sculpture without painstaking hand copy. "I began thinking and came up with an extremely simple idea-based on known technologies," Swainson says. "There was no reason why anybody in the past 50 years could not have done it." Swainson's three-dimensional sculpture photography system not only can create identical copies of a sculpture or any three-dimensional object, enlarged or reduced in size, but has implications that promise to revolutionize designing and manufacturing techniques. It has even been seriously suggested that the concept behind the system could form the basis of realizing science fiction's "teleportation" of objects from one place to another by radio waves. THE YOUNG English literature graduate, working in London a few years ago, went to the British Museum library and studied enough physics and chemistry to enable him to get his first patent. The device is now being developed with the help of the Batelle research organization, in Columbus, Ohio. The sculpture-copy system uses the same principles of chemistry and electronics that are used in making of printing plates. A plastic that can be hardened by light rays is made the target of two intersecting laser beams controlled by a computer that has been programmed with the three-dimensional image of the object to be copied. "I was concerned about reproducing the great sculptures without having somebody sit down in front of one with a lump of clay and starting all over," says Swainson. AS HE PROGRESSED, he began to see the wider implications of his invention for industry and eventually consumers. "Imagine," he says, "in every home a device into which plastics would be thrown and reformed into new things. "Say you need some plastic glasses for a party. You would use a program recorded on a cassette, or you would phone a certain number and they would connect your machine to the proper program to make the glasses. After the party, you would throw them back in and make something else the next morning." FOR INDUSTRY, which probably will be the first user of the system, products of any shape can be produced without the use of expensive and bulky machine tools. Such products can be designed directly into a three-dimensional electronic image without the intermediate work of drafting engineers and machinists. Swainson says IBM has already produced a three-dimensional TV-like instrument for creation of computerized shapes that can be recorded electronically and reproduced. In his system, he says, the electronic data will be converted into light rays and fed through the criss-crossing laser beams scanning a container of liquid plastic. Where the light beams intersect, they create a chemical reaction that will harden the plastic. Afterward the unhardened plastic is washed away and there is left an exact copy of the image in the computerized data. ACCORDING TO the inventor, the system can eventually be used to create and reproduce objects made of complex metals or other substances whose chemical makeup is subject to modification by lasers. The latter possibility raises speculation about "teleportation." In theory, at least, a three-dimensional hologram could be made of any object, analyzing its precise chemical makeup and converting this to electronic data, which could then be transmitted by radio waves to another place and reproduced there as often as desired.
