You don't know that. I'm pretty sure there is a market for simple cars that don't tell you what to do, don't report you to the authorities, don't shut down unexpectedly because you didn't follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule, etc.

I can't tell if this is satire or not, but people who can't open a door with a key and a handle maybe shouldn't be allowed to drive.
