Cars take a lot after phones, like one big screen and no way to repair it. Maybe when a car needs to be replaced when their tank is empty, people gone think about what they buy
Most luxury car owners will be on to their next car before the warranty is out.
Cars don't take after phones, phones took after cars. The car industry pioneered enshittification in the mid 2000s. It started with crazy shit like lights where you had to disassemble half of the car in order to change a burnt out bulb.
Yeah I'm made about these unrepairable and phone home cars.
I got a 2010s car that's dumb and it works.
I really want a SUV with adaptive cruise control. Preferably hybrid 4WD. I'm shit out of luck for privacy.
I have a 2016 Subaru with eyesight (which includes adaptive cruise).
It lost its phone home when they killed 3g which I’m happy about.
Less happy about when the camera isn’t happy, like when there’s a salty windshield or direct sunlight, it fully disables all forms of cruise control. So if there’s ever a hardware problem with the camera system, it’s going to not have any cruise control until fixed (if parts will even be available).
