All I want is a car with modern engineering and simple technology. I’m fine with crank windows and a radio I can easily swap out. But I would like an engine that gets more than 7MPG and has crumple-zones that aren’t my face. I don’t need touchscreens and sensors for everything. And I sure as fuck don’t want the manufacturer pushing out “updates” that can brick my car.
I’m curious to see if there will be simpler electric cars in the future. Like the bare minimum electric circuit to make the car go forward. I could see a DIY kit for something like that. But the security standards these days ask for way more sensors and cameras to reduce risks of accidents wich is fair tbh.
Keep an eye on Slate. Hope they do well
They won’t. Funded by Amazon, corporate tracking will still be mandatory.
