Someone was on their first solo helicopter flight and the instructor said, "I'll radio you every 1000 feet to see how you're doing."
At 1000 feet, the instructor radioed him and said he was doing great. At 2000 feet, he said he was still doing well. Right before he got to 3000 feet, the propeller stopped, and he twirled to the ground. The instructor ran to where he crash landed and pulled him out of the helicopter. "What went wrong?" He said, "At 2500 feet, I started to get cold, so I turned the big fan off."
Beyond ridiculous!!! Drivers have Enough to deal with 🤬
In a recent exposé by The New York Times, it’s revealed that car manufacturers like General Motors Co., Honda Motor Co. Ltd., and Kia Corp. have been selling detailed driving behavior data to third-party brokers, potentially influencing owners’ insurance premiums.
This practice involves compiling behavioral profiles of drivers based on data from connected cars, including braking habits, speeding tendencies, and aggressive acceleration.
The report features Kenn Dahl, a 65-year-old American, shocked to discover a 21% increase in his insurance premium, attributed to data collected by LexisNexis.
While consumers can access their LexisNexis report, the revelation underscores the importance of scrutinizing connected car settings and seeking privacy protections from manufacturers.
