> Cars haven't changed in any fundamental manner for the better part of a century at the very least, so no cars are not so-called "technology" at this point.

So only new technology is technology? What a daft definition.

"Technology" in the sense as Hacker News uses it? Yes.

Unless you want to argue that Windows 3.11 and Blackberry and 8086 today are tech as in the tech industry.

Obviously not, they didn't spy on their users to show ads.

You're validating the opposing argument with those examples.

Windows 3.11 and 8086 are no-longer in active development. But the Windows operating system and the Intel x86 chipset are still being developed, and are relevant topics of current conversation.

Similarly, "cars" aren't new as a concept. But recent news developments regarding recently developed cars counts as tech relevant to Hacker News.
