@DocCoyle Honestly wasn't too horribly disappointed that none of the ones in OKC survived. They'd probably do big numbers now that they're pandering to MAGA though
@laRealMaquina@USA_USA_USA_No1@rickjeff78 Trump did get 35% of the Jewish vote in 2024 but that still doesn't refute my point of Jewish people heavily lean Democrat which is why I said you saying Dems hate Jews was a funny statement.
@laRealMaquina@USA_USA_USA_No1@rickjeff78 You're kinda glossing over the whole part where I said they lean heavily Dem and me posting nationally and NYC percentages. I used NYC because they have the largest population by more than 3x the #2 city.
@laRealMaquina@USA_USA_USA_No1@rickjeff78 That's funny considering Jewish people heavily lean Dem. The Republican only got 3% of the Jewish vote in the mayoral race with the city that has the largest Jewish population in the US. Dems are going to get behind anybody that speaks out against Trump.
@laRealMaquina@USA_USA_USA_No1@rickjeff78 Probably not as bad as you think. Trump only won by 1.5% and as seen with Massie and MTG he'd have Dems and the folks that quit supporting Trump behind him.
@TH4994774229167@ProbabilisticX@unusual_whales I'd imagine just new cars. Since there's no real way to force it on used cars. Guess that's one benefit of being to broke to afford a new car 😂
Right on queue

Ford has filed multiple patents related to driver monitoring systems (DMS), which typically use cameras, sensors, and AI to track driver attention, drowsiness/fatigue, distraction, facial expressions, biometrics, and related in-cabin behaviors for safety, personalization, and vehicle control.
These build on systems like Ford's BlueCruise hands-free driving, which already incorporates driver monitoring. Here are some notable examples (patent details based on public filings and reports):
Distracted Driving DetectionPatent filed December 3, 2020 (published ~June 2022). This system uses a driver monitoring camera to detect distraction (e.g., eyes off the road) and can also identify smartphone light on the driver's face. It may alert the driver or intervene by taking partial control of the vehicle.
Driver Fatigue PreventionPatent filed July 1, 2022 (published January 5, 2023). It proposes using light therapy (via special glasses or cabin lighting) triggered by detected fatigue. The system monitors driver position and activates countermeasures, especially for early-morning or night shifts.
Lip Reading, Facial Expressions, and Emotion Sensing (In-Cabin Monitoring)Patent application US20260095520 (filed ~2024, published ~April 2026). This uses interior cameras and sensors with machine learning to read lips (for voice commands in noisy environments, like convertibles with the top down), track facial expressions, and analyze emotions or alertness. It supports better voice control and driver fitness checks.
In-Cabin Biometric SystemPatent filed February 9, 2024 (published August 2025).
Integrates facial, fingerprint, and iris/eye recognition for driver identification, alertness/fatigue monitoring, stress detection, and personalized cabin settings. It ties into broader DMS for security and health/wellness
@ProbabilisticX@unusual_whales Ford has patented technology that monitors your biometrics and if it reads you're not in a safe state to drive it won't let you start the car. Also fingerprint technology that will run theough law enforcement databases.
@Arkypatriot You get an extra hour of sunight to do shit once your off work. Personally even though I'm not a morning person I'd rather kids get that shit in the morning instead of it being dark as shit waiting for the bus
@knowitallmom@JulieLovesFluff Same with us millennials born in the early 80s. Had an analog childhood but digital teens. I relate with a lot more stuff from gen x born in late 70s than I do millennials born in the 90s.
@FusonNick71266@lizisamused Lol only a weak minded ass dude would see this and think that. You care more about other guys opinions of you than seeing your own kids laugh and giggle and be happy. Insecure ass
