NGOs and businesses demand continued remote sensing in EU roadworthiness. This isn't about air quality; it's about control.
FO Take · Score 20
The EU’s flirtation with removing remote sensing from roadworthiness checks exposes a chronic lack of foresight. This isn't merely about air quality; it’s about establishing ubiquitous, real-time surveillance of labour. The infrastructure for total oversight is being built, piece by piece. Are we sleepwalking into a Panopticon on wheels?
The strongest counter
Remote sensing offers tangible air quality benefits and streamlines compliance for transport businesses. Its removal would be a retrograde step for public health and efficiency.
