"I have updated your car over the air. Pray I do not update it any further."

What I hear when Volvo touts Google Gemini integration, and the ability to add new features to your EX60 after you have already bought it.

@sindarina A hypothetical future Volvo driver pulls up at an intersection. Lights are on red.

They put on the handbrake/parking brake.

There's a "ding" from the console; new terms and conditions which must be accepted. They include subscription services, including the ability to take the handbrake off.

Across the world, Volvo cars are abandoned because the extractive rent model applies, and drivers won't pay it.

Dystopian yes, fictional - for now!
