  • Why would they send all the footage and not just clips on demand? Why would they constantly record or monitor all cars, rather than just ones of special interest? Why would they need a 1080p stream when for a use case like this a much lower resolution at a fraction of the bitrate will be more than sufficient?

    Maintaing 1MB/s stream is not a trivial task, especially if you want to do that for free. I might’ve slightly underestimated the core of the problem, it’s completely impossible to do that.

    My guy have you not heard of 4G and 5G?

    And at last: Why would car manufacturers even consider doing that? What is the purpose?

    AI training data, or because the government clandestinely told them to.

    Also, the basic argument of this blogpost is idiotic. If you’re installing a ring 0 anticheat that means you’re running Windows, and guess what, that means your entire operating system is code you can’t audit. You’ll also be running possibly dozens of third party drivers with (essentially) ring 0 access that you also can’t audit, and most of those drivers are written far more shoddily than anticheats (which, by their very nature, have to pay extreme attention to security and safety, because otherwise cheaters will easily reverse engineer them making them useless).

    Yawn, yet another one of these articles by someone who has no idea what they are talking about. Thankfully they at least admit it in the very first sentence of their post.

    Furthermore, it hasn’t stopped cheating. They largely moved to external hardware that bypasses kernel anti-cheat.

    Daft argument. If the only way to cheat is to buy specialized hardware that costs several hundred, if not several thousand, dollars, then the anticheat is a resounding success – it has dramatically increased the barrier of entry to cheating. DMA cheats are not impossible to detect either, anticheats like Riot’s Vanguard sniff them out all the time.

    Anyone who claims anticheats are useless or ineffective clearly has never played a competitive multiplayer game with an actually ineffective anticheat. Anticheats are unfortunately absolutely necessary for most competitive multiplayer games to be viable at all. If you don’t like them, then don’t play the kinds of games that need them.
