How often are americans really in such an emergency? Like, I keep seeing this whole "what are you gonna do when someone invades your home" thing from the gun nuts, and apparently now from the car nuts too.
No one is going to invade your home to murder you. If someone breaks in, they just want your tv!
By watching these lunatics it would seem everyone is constantly getting assaulted by people dead set on murdering them. Seriously; no one gives a shit about you! You're not that fucking important Rambo. They just want to sell your tv for $30 at a pawn shop.
Accidents happen in the woods all the time. Could take hours for an ambulance to arrive. You wouldn't want to wait
you have to remember that a lot of people live 30 minutes or more from any emergency response. if I cut my finger off, I'd want to be driven to the hospital asap, not wait for an ambulance that's not really all that necessary because it's not a life-threatening condition
I agree that tons of people live 30 minutes or more from an emergency department. I live 25 minutes away myself. But Emergency response, at least everywhere ive lived in the US, is much quicker than that thanks to volunteer fire departments and such. So, an emt getting to you is faster than 30 minutes -- by a lot, probably -- but you still will need to travel the 30-minute distance for super duper emergencies. Also -- who the fuck in American is ready, willing, or able to pay for an ambulance ride? My heart better be stopped if youre loading me into an ambulance.
Did you only watch the first 4 seconds and not the deep dive for the rest of the video?
Let's also consider: a woman trying to escape an abuser or a rapist... You shouldn't need your car/Ford's permission to do what's best for your own safety and security
The issue is less about how often does that happen but more if you care about your car collecting heart beat rates, eyes, etc. and sending that back home.
Lots of down votes yet no one able to answer. I didn't expect Lemmings here specifically to be Fox News level nutjobs.
