    The FTC votes unanimously to enforce right to repair.
    Wired Magazine (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 80% • 5 min read

    The Federal Trade Commission voted unanimously to enforce laws around the Right to Repair, thereby ensuring that US consumers will be able to repair their own electronic and automotive devices.

    ...
    The vote comes 12 days after President Biden signed a broad executive order aimed at promoting [economic competition]. A portion of it encouraged the FTC to create new rules that would prevent companies from restricting repair options for consumers.
    ...
    Some large manufacturers oppose [right to repair], arguing that it will make products less secure and could expose consumers to safety risks. However, a May FTC report, which was the culmination of data gathered after the commission hosted a “Nixing the Fix” panel in 2019, the FTC said there was “scant evidence to support manufacturers’ justifications for repair restrictions.”

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - I'm not convinced the variables are sufficiently accounted for. With that being said, if there was a regular route we're an autonomous vehicle had taken, 10000 trips with no issues inside of a city, then I might be able to consider it.


Yes - I've actually been in an automated Uber a couple of times in Pittsburgh. It was a very cool and informative experience. There's a driver paying attention bu...
