Honda has announced that it will launch a new safety system in Japan that will actually warn drivers of crime hot spots. The new system — which will launch throughout Japan on Tuesday — will use police records in conjunction with the car's navigation system to warn drivers of dangerous areas.
According to AFP, the system will use police information to determine which areas have high levels of car theft and damage, and will warn drivers via the car's on-board navigation system.
Based on crimes reported, the system will assign varying levels of risk to different areas.
No word if Honda has plans to bring the new system to the U.S.
I can't wait to hear about honda profiling communities by "hatin' on da ghetto folk sucka". It would be cooler if this car just transformed into a badass, ass kicking mobile with guns and rockets and tasers and shit.
If Honda brings this system to the US, they would be accused of racism. The race card will be played by everyone
…Does it come with a trunk monkey??
You won't see many of these in Detroit then.
So there is some upside to living in a crime riddled shit hole.
I might go on a crime spree to keep these alarmist pussies and their secretary cars out of my hood.
tzu13,
.
Ahhhh, the beloved TRUNK MONKEY! LOL, as I never cease to enjoy the Trunk Monkey commercials.
Great, I can already imagine this thing here in DC:
"…proceed 2.5 miles on Martin Luther King Blvd
…Turn right on Malcolm X Blvd…
FLOOR IT, AND DON'T STOP UNTIL YOU REACH I-295 North!…"
Oh my gawd, racist Honda! And who is accusing them of being racist? Japs and ricers loving and adoring public! Meanwhile there was not a shred of race in the articel - let's assume it is white crime neighborhood? The prison population is on only 51% black, 40% latino and the rest are Arien nation representatives (those are actually whites). Some of Arien nation folk after incarceration do habituate somewhere and only those communities will be ostracized by Honda. BTW, the map will come from American Insurance Institute - how do you think insurance companies assign rates for risk?
lol LaCaLover, I was waiting for Detroit to come up… haha yeah well if you did have this in Detroit hopefully there's a mute button with this system because once you cross into the Detroit City Limits that thing won't stop going off!
autonut - i am not sure if you were asking me "who is accusing them of being racist" or making your own comment. Either way, I was pointing out how racially tense America is so if this technology came to the US, Rev. Wright and Sharpton will be preaching how most of the neighborhoods that Honda designates as "crime filled" in the nav system are majority black or latino and Honda will be accused of being bigots and a national boycott of Honda will be called for which would make 1115 cry endlessly.
By the way, it is "Aryan", not "Arien". And yes, insurance companies assign home and car insurance rates based on a variety of factors including what zip code the car is parked at night or the house is located in.
Shut up guys! Honda never does anything wrong! Shut up… just shut up right now or I'll be forced to throw lots of meaningless links at you all!
AMGoff grow up! we can all go to the NHTSA website and look up the recalls on any manufacturer we feel like. Instead of knocking Honda why not try and persuade your favorite manufacturer to make better cars?
I think this is a brilliant idea. Whoever says this is racist is fucking retarded.
Where is the racism in this technoogy? Honda is an engineering company first. Japan is a country of 99% Japanese…who's left to be racist about. Its purely a data-result mapping idea. Why get your car stolen when you could avoid that part of town? Sounds brilliant.
This isn't racist. It would be racist if Honda built a genetic sensor into the steering wheel. If it detected a hispanic or black driver, it would chime "criminal on board, criminal on board…"
BTW: I'm hispanic. THIS IS A JOKE
Downtown atlanta ga will be a big red circle on the map. Crime here is horrible.
Crime in Japan?? I've been to Tokyo twice, walked the streets and alleyways way past midnight drunk and by myself and never did I feel afraid. Japanese society is very orderly and respectfull, so I don't see the purpose of this system in Japan. I feel more afraid walking a busy street in a small town in the middle of the day here in the US than at night in Tokyo. This car won't work in Detriot lol, This car won't let you drive in most major US cities!
so have we stumbled into the world of pre-cogs?
seriously though, crime-warning and NOT being racist? what area's of town do some of you live on? any town with a HIGH crime rate will always be hispanic or african american, or the 10% of whites hanging around hispanics or african americans, just like someone mention Detriot, do you think all you are going to run into is Eminem? doubtful, just like Washington D.C. who do you think commits the most crime, it isn't Thirston Bennett the 3rd that's for sure, do I even need to bring up South Central or Oakland California? or 5th Ward Houston Texas? maybe the only white crime area would be where??? anyone? anyone?? Bueller? , thats right, Georgia or Mississippi
"Dlive qurickry! Rots of brack men here! Hully up!"
blacks got such a bad reputation, but hey everyone agrees, they feel safer in a white neigborhood than in a white one. What is it about them that so many of them lead a life of violent crime? My parents were poor when they moved into this country with no education, they never felt the need to be criminals to get ahead, they worked hard and saved their money and now they live la dolce vita!
They aren't all that way. The one's know here are a bunch of country guys, all ages. They don't listen to hardcore rap and putt 22" wheels on everything and try to act thuggish. They go fishing, they dig muscle cars and have the same interests as we do, I don't even think of them as black, just friends. The ones that are the n-youknows's are the one's that are content wth being a low life piece of crap for the rest of their lives and think they are entitled to everything. They choose to be loud, obnoxious, ebonic, rude, etc. Go to Miami or Ft lauderdale then come here to northern FL, totally different world.
I agree with that, Chris Rock said it the best and its so true. There are black people (normal), and there are niggers(low life). Big difference. Just like there are white people and there are white trash.
Planet Drive… that's pretty much it right there. We all have bad batches. There is a large black middle class out there, but only the ultra rich (celebs), and the ghettos and gangs get the attention. The black middle class must not have much media appeal I guess. The crime issue has more to do with class. It's not a "What's wrong with those people?" thing. White poverty isn't as prevelant in big cities as black poverty so we don't hear of it as much. Either way, lower class areas are going to be prone to more crime.
hatin' on da ghetto folk sucka". It would be cooler if this car just transformed into a badass, ass kicking mobile with guns and rockets and tasers and shit.
Well written sir
I actually agree with Commo but the system will use crime stats which cant be denied much like the stats that show the Japanese are superior to the domestics
But if the system is anything like this board Commo AMG JJT Jjayc will try and deny and twist the facts despite having proof right in front of them
AMGoff grow up! we can all go to the NHTSA website and look up the recalls on any manufacturer we feel like. Instead of knocking Honda why not try and persuade your favorite manufacturer to make better cars?
bc he is too busy crying on Commo's shoulder as to why GM cant make better cars than Honda or Toyota Wait there is a recall on Toyota a tire went flat …oh well I guess that means that GMand Toyota are equal now lol
^^^ Thanks nerd boy, I didn't know I was being graded on grammar.
hey 1115, why dont you go plagierize consumer reports again, parrot-boy.
And bring me that burger NOW, damn it!
I am sooooo pissed. I came into Burger King today and I'll be damned if 1115 wasn't wearing the Burger King hat. You little fuck. At Burger King it's MY way, bitch! This is your last warning before I bitch slap you from across the counter, then body slam you on the stove and laugh like a pirate.
Commodore, I did not name names and there is no need for it: look at the posts and it is all fairly clear. With or without merit there will be bashing of Honda by the crowd who is openly racist: how else one would explain such amount of antipathy. I could understand disdain based on father's war stories, but the crowd posting on this site is to young to have fathers in WWII. In my opinion (subjective not objective) it is racism.
I saw spelling of "arien" and "aryan" alike and I am not an expert of jail culture or gangs.
Well maybe the Koreans can do all of us with kids a favor, drumroll pease………"the 40 yr old white dude who abducts litte boys detection system" sick fucks, now thats useful technology.
Cant drive through any neighborhood then. Huh.
If it's Toyota or Honda, people like Rodd (jjt) and the rest of the haters will spend their time typing some stupid redundant comments about them. Hardly constructive, but I don't expect much from typical Americans regardless of their age.
And Churches too.
Hey MRN
Why don’t you go learn to spell plagiarize
I never plagiarized shit Just quoted an article like we all do on here, well those of us who actually have something of worth to say
A Burger King joke? Really
At least when I crack on JJT I know he is really a janitor and I come up with clever ways to make fun of him for being grown and doing such a menial job. You just go for the low apples you have to go deep to make it funny
You must be a slacker. Try harder I’m sure you can get a good one in
Except you didn't quote nor reference anything… you wrote it like it was all you and someone just happened to catch your ass.
Either way… this system is pointless because it's going to be in Japan only. It wouldn't work in the States for several reasons… one of which being the fact that most people would rather steal a Cadillac or a Corvette than some little Honda.
It's a crime to sell a Honda.
This technology is useless
@global_lightning
Your joke was funny
@ Get Real atlanta is the olny parrt of the south that is Almost civilised.
@ planet_drive
Just stay away from Detriot. It's a third-world city.
@ DeansterTJ
you are very funny
@ hoover steve
black people are like evrybody else/some I like and some I don't like. You seem inteligent.
