It’s already happening anyways on non ev cars and has been for years. They all have monitors and tech in there.
Comment on How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas

The sad part is that manual transmissions are going away, which means I’m completely SOL if the electronics die. But I guess on the flipside, there’s no transmission to break, so that’s nice.

Give and takes. I’m waiting another 10 years till I hop on the electric vehicle camp. Just want some more competition and reliability.

I think competition is pretty good right now, the main issue is range. Toyota is claiming to have much longer range battery tech in like 3 years (they’ve promised before), so if that materializes, we could see really compelling EVs in like 5 years.

I suspect that it’s because they are marketed to be as much of a tech gadget as transportation. An iPad on wheels. So they figure that they can slip in this crap.

Yeah, and I really don’t want that crap. I just want something to get me from A to B that I can fill up at home. Give me something cheap and reliable and I’ll buy it.
