Can I please just get a car, instead of a rolling computer / infotainment / privacy nightmare?
Good thing my family owns a owner type jeep that dosent connect to the internet
As an environmentalist this really bothers me. I want a new electric car which is better for the planet. I no longer think I can. I would probably have to pick up an older model. What a joke. I’m too angry about the way the world is progressing, our privacy is eroded faster that we can take steps to mitigate.
The best alternative would probably be, if feasible at all, a bike coupled with public transport. For our privacy as well as for the environment.
I love my bike so much. Hopefully there is a future where I can just sell the stupid car without drawbacks.
… are RC cars and surveillance machines. For all places you go, who probably never agreed to it.
I’m still wondering how they’d be able to collect race, genetic, sexual, etc. information, some of those things don’t seem at all possible, but they’re somehow listed anyway, which is doubly scary
No actual idea, but I think there’s a considerable amount of cars that are filled with cams and mics “for your convenience”.
Including the (afaik) mandatory SOS button, that has a mic and a cellular connection.
Yeah, that’s reasonable to explain many things for well equipped cars, but the genetic information??
Yeah, that’s a good question. Maybe the steering wheel absorbs and tests the driver’s sweat? Lol this sounds overboard, and almost certainly it is, but I can’t think of anything that would warrant that part
