I've often joked that my retirement plan is to put all my money into buying and warehousing a fleet of base model Kias. I'll operate a rental service of cars that "just work" to criminals who want to rob banks or escape the robot police.

Of course base model Kias are so low tech they take about 90 seconds to steal, so there's tradeoffs :)

Honestly it’s genius. Maybe ICE cars will be outlawed in cities eventually? That’s the only flaw.

They already are in various cities around the world [1]

Note lots of European cities are also banning diesel vehicles, and tons of cities in Central and South America only allow you to drive your vehicle every second day. Odd license plates one day, even the next.

We're about to see massive, massive changes.

“Do you know why I pulled you over?”

“Because I robbed that bank?”

“No, because you’re using gasoline. We can’t prosecute robberies less than $950k”.
