For over a century, the automobile has represented freedom, power, and the thrill of mechanical mastery. The connection between driver, machine, and road defined what it meant to own and love a car. But in today’s digital era, a different trend is unfolding. Cars are no longer just machines designed to take us from point A to point B. Increasingly, they resemble something else entirely: smartphones on wheels.

You can turn a lot of this stuff off. Still. Most of the driver assistant stuff is optional still.

In another few years? Probably not. They will probably change insurance policies to hold you liable if you drive without it.
