Uncle STU talks a bit of sense, for the UK.

I haven’t watched most of his videos for awhile even through I’m still subscribed. Sick of the politics and the spruiking of mostly crappy accessories

Some of the issues he covers impact the US as well, specifically telemetry devices being mandated for vehicles...... it's buried in the "Build back better" legislation.

I got about ten minutes in then had to stop watching.  Uncle Stu is even more verbose than my right wing uncles, which is saying a lot, and an even bigger font of misinformation.

Telemetry devices are already installed in lot's of vehicles. At the public utility I worked for the first thing we did whenever one of our vehicles was involved in an accident was hook up the scan tool and take a look at the logged information, which among other things told us speed, when the brakes were applied, whether ABS engaged and so on. In several cases having that info exonerated our drivers.

Those devices are on a 20 second loop of stored info, as I recall. They were in all production GM cars, I think, about 2011 in the USA. Other brands followed.

I know that many business vehicles and rental vehicles have telemetry devices and have had for several years.... but for a privately owned vehicle, does a buyer know it's there and consent to it? I'm thinking 4th Amendment here. Suffice it to say I don't like/trust "smart" devices.

I don't recall the time frame, but that sounds about right. Most of what you needed to know occured in the last few seconds before impact. On some vehicles, International trucks from around 2012 for one example, you could pull information like average vehicle speed, mileage or how much time the truck had spent idling, even how many times the ABS had come on, from the day the truck was built. A lot of our drivers were scared of it, but like I said, having that info cleared a few guys who might otherwise have been in some trouble after an accident.

I drive Audi & VW cars and use Rosstech software to ‘talk’ to the cars. There are tons of things you can do, i.e. set the windows to roll down when unlock fob is held down, change unlock behavior, modify sound system, etc.
 I’ve poked around in the system quite a-lot and never found any stored data other than fault codes.

Confucius says "One man's Trash is another man's Treasure" 🤣🤣 it's about personal choice

[JLewis]

It sounds like it's very much in line with all UK transport policy, rather than singling out bikes in particular.

Ol' Stu sounds like one of those scaremongering 70s and 80s MAG reps, you know, those guys who were on the dole but led all the protest rides on brand new Shovelheads while we wobbled along behind on shagged-out Superdreams wondering where our MAG contributions went...

[dickim]

Jeez I may have to have a watch of this Guy see what it's about 🤣🤣

"Sick of the politics" you may be but that is exactly what governments the world over rely on. Nobody pays any attention then before you know it the freedoms you took for granted are a thing of the past.
