Important Note: I stated in the video that this disables the autopilot functionality, but that is incorrect. This will only disable the notification to place pressure on the wheel. If you keep pressure on the wheel, AP will continue to function.

Alsup is fantastic. There definitely need to be more judges like him to straighten out the mess patent law has become in this country.

Nine million logs of Brits’ road journeys spill onto the internet from password-less number-plate camera dashboard
“The unsecured management dashboard could have been used by anyone who found it to reconstruct a particular vehicle’s journey, or series of journeys, from its number plate, right down to the minute with ease. A malicious person could have renamed the cameras or altered key metadata shown to operators, such as a camera’s location, direction, and unique identifying number.”

Oh, great. First it was the bad capacitors, now we have bad resistors as well. In my recent experience with a bad power supply, bad caps are still a thing even today.
Of course, while this is different Cisco, this choice quote seems appropriate anyway:

When they instituted LPRs in my city with the help of a repo company I tried to get the mayor to drop them. No matter what scenario I spun, they thought I was a paranoid idiot. I waited three months and submitted an FOI request under Florida’s Sunshine Law and got all the geo data tied to every license scanned. I then posted a free to use site that used the old open Google Maps API to pinpoint every scan for the license plate you entered. The default plate in the field was the Mayor’s. They let the contract expire after the first year.
