Hello; This is an older story. It seems a woman had two minor accidents one day and left the scene of both. She drove home and parked her modern car in her garage. The car sensed the collisions and called someone. I guess because she did not answer the cops were sent to the location of the car. So in effect her car called the cops on her and she was arrested and charged.

I wish I could think of examples of things designed for one purpose that had unintended consequences. I know they exist. What might be amusing would be if cars that can "talk" to each other might rank their drivers. What would not be amusing would be if they kept a log of all my traffic violations.

I think OnStar is capable of this (calling police).

Imagine if the car was equipped with true AI maybe the owner could have persuaded it to be an accomplice lol

So has this ever happened to anyone.

My wife and i will be talking about a random subject one of us will bring up google on our cell phone and after entering not two or 3 characters into the search bar the exact subject we were about to search comes up. Now i dont mean one of those searches where you almost type out everything and the list of possible searches pops up... i mean literally two or 3 letters and bam exact search criteria

A year or so ago me and a coworker were talking, his hot water heater had went out and we were talking about his options. Repair or replace.

The next day he came in and told me that when he went on the Internet on his phone he was getting ads for appliance repair and hot water heaters.
He swears this happened before he had done any search on his phone and that his phone heard us talking about his problem.
 
See this sucks man. Tech gone wrong. I have nothing to hide so i dont stress the gov spying not cool but i dont freak out over it. Private companies to me are worse. We have no idea where this data ends up.

We sadly live in a day and age where our data and search trends are worth a ton of money to the right companies...
