I’m questioning the need for connected cars in the first place. Perhaps we could revisit that trend.

Makes perfect sense for fully-automated vehicles that aren’t privately owned. Everything else, I think there’s an argument to be made.

Not that I expect the argument to go anywhere.

The need isn't for the user, it's for government surveillance and corporate data collection. I hate to say it but this trend seems inevitable. Wherever corporate and government interests align, it's practically impossible for the people to fight.

Yeah, I've decided that my 2022 vehicle is not only my first, but my last new car. I'll find a way to convert something older to electric if that becomes necessary.
