I think the main point is being missed, what does it matter even if did have a criminal past? We're meant to have a rehabilitation focused justice system, which doesn't work if you exclude ex-offenders from the spaces they need to be in to live. If it didn't detect him actively committing a crime, then it shouldn't have been an issue.
This is horrible. People i think tend to equate the poor user interface that a lot of traditional car makers have, with the general idea of a touchscreen. I have 4 buttons on each side of the steering wheel and everything else is touchscreen (or voice command), my air-conditioning controls have a shortcut interface on the screen. I almost have a panic attack getting into a car with all physical controls, at worst in my car I'm searching through the one screen, not hunting through a field of obscure symbols with no standardisation on where anything is, and all those little lights.
If you're having to spend so much of your trip accessing all those physical controls in a modern car, whilst driving, then your car is poorly designed.
Never, as long as the junk in my room wasn't leaking into the hallway, my parents were happy. Definitely no snooping. I had software on my kids devices when they were younger, but it just put blocks on what they could access, the only thing I "monitored" to any extent was time spent using the device.
