This technology has been available in Cadillacs for years. Go drive an ATS if you want to see it in action. Not distracting at all.

ATS HUD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpXYwoZ6zWw

For a while they even had a radar overlay so you could see deer in the road on your HUD before your eyes could in the dark.

GM's is cool too because they have an API that allows you to remotely get vehicle data through Onstar. This allows approved apps to get data like fuel level, vehicle alarm alerts, oil life, fuel economy, remote start/stop, location, speed and direction etc. Not sure Ford has anything like that..

I agree. Ohio has a whole fleet of police planes that they've been using to catch speeders on the highway for a long time.

Also if you look at the FAA drone authorization list on the EFF's website most of the organizations getting authorization are either US DOD or Universities (Probably being used for research not surveillance). Not many police organizations.

django-userena is nifty, I'm surprised it's not used more often.

I like it. Seems easier to setup then django-social-auth. The extra information given on the blog is nice too.

Very cool. Although it says it's "created to provide an "easy-to-use" visual interface for Python newcomers." and still requires the command line to install.
