      You won’t get that until we have a comprehensive privacy bill passed. Best we can hope for now is a car that’s so simply designed, you can actually dig around its internals to easily remove their SIM cards. The most promising example that’ll come to the market soon is the Slate Truck.

    Embracing?? Being forced to do it or pay fees, equals “embracing”??

      I’d say let them have their propaganda, at least it comes with a real improvement.

    I hope this holds. My current vehicle has knobs and buttons and I hope my next does as well.

    The benefit of driving 15 year old cars is that stupid trends like touch screen controls go out of fashion 10 years before I even start considering buying a vehicle from that time period.
