My dealer told me INEOs claims they are not hearing it being an issue. Must be selective hearing or dealers not being aggressive with the technical tickets.

Or maybe it’s a government mandate and the dealer didn’t actually hear it’s not an issue… because it’s hearsay and this is the internet…
That’s not my opinion on the matter. It’s not mandatory yet which is why people like me are buying a vehicle of my dreams to keep long term before it does become mandatory. We just purchased a new Lexus and there is a screen with all the ADAS like features that you can elect to keep on or turn off. “Ineos” is the one that made it mandatory without an option to keep it off unless you go through the favorites feature and do it all over again the next you start the car which sounds like a lot of fun when doing quick trips to the stores. This is their choice and personally I don’t mind the technology of collision avoidance, but the Nanny feature to tell me I’m 1 mph over is ridiculous.For the love of all that is good, we knowingly bought a European SUV. It is mandatory in Europe to have passive speed warning systems installed in all vehicles manufactured in the EU since 2022.
The NTSB, a U.S. government agency, has asked all U.S. makers and importers to install similar devices. Compliance is currently voluntary but will likely be mandatory in the very near future.
If you have an issue with the American Driver Annoyance System, call your Federal representative. There is no need to dox Ineos executives or even call Ineos. Ineos is only complying with the EU mandate and accommodating the request of a U.S. government agency. Ineos has a lot of hoops to jump through to import a vehicle. Complying with a government request is a wise choice.
If you are so opposed to the ADAS system, I strongly urge you to a.) sell your vehicle or, b.) speak to your government representative as the issue appears to be evolving in to an invasion of our privacy where the system actually reports repeat speeding offenses to government authorities.
Government agency urges mandate of technology to reduce speeding in new cars
The National Transportation Safety Board has urged another government agency to mandate that new cars have intelligent speed assistance technology in them.www.foxbusiness.com

Not to get too political here but its this perspective of accepting these authoritarian functions on people that allowed us to get here. Granted this is a private company so they can sell whatever they want and we can buy if or not but just rolling ofer and saying “just accept it because this is the best its gonna get” just really rubs ne the wrong way. If this is a function we dont want in the USA take a stance on things in life. Its the USA man!
No one is doxing. She has a high position role listed on a public social media site and is responsible for the overall success of the company. This comes with a role of that caliber. No one said be rude to her.
Correct i reached out as well and they did say they appreciated and welcomed the feedback. I also got a canned response BUT they did say they appreciated it. We all should reach out and express our feelings on it. The answer is always a no if you dont ask. How else would they get feedback? Better we say something than they flounder as a company and no one is giving feedback as to why product fails to move.
From Wikipedia- Doxing or doxxing is the act of publicly providing personally identifiable information about an individual or organization, usually via the Internet and without their consent.
It’s a government request. Shouldn’t you be on a government forum?
Shes on a public site my friend listing her own info. Doxxing would be providing her non public information and also would insinuate doing so with bad intention. One would say she consented as she personally put that info there herself. I’m not going to debate semantics with you but there is nothing wrong with anyone taking appropriate action to respectfully provide feedback on a product. Especially if the feature could adversely effect future INEOS sales.
Its not a gov request. Its not a US mandate. Dropping the conversation because i dont have the energy to fight with you. If you are satisfied with the product thats great.
When I asked for clarification about a their previous reply, this is what I received from customer service:
There is no argument. I’m merely relaying accurate information as opposed to the ridiculousness and misinformation that this forum thread has devolved in to.
Yeah, the company probably completely forgot to include a mechanism where customers could vent their frustrations, issues, problems, etc., So, being smarter than that, we should flood a company executive’s inbox with a very low level annoyance because focusing her attention on the dozen or so people that can’t handle pushing two buttons is the only way this company can succeed.
stopped right at "authoritarian functions"..
I literally said they can sell whatever they want being a private company and we can choose to buy or not to. My only gripe would be the demo cars didnt have this function and the ones sold did. So im not sure where “forced” came into play.
What is about a government requirement in the EU and a government request in the US makes this a communication issue? Why does Ineos owe an explanation. It’s self explanatory.
