Why They Don’t Want You Driving a Chinese Car

I took my first ride in a Chinese car recently. Not in the U.S., of course, since sky-high tariffs have made them almost impossible to import. I was visiting family in the U.K., and we rented a BYD Sealion SUV. And let me tell you: I saw immediately why American car companies are desperate to have these things kept out of this country. It was elegantly designed, incredibly comfortable, and a smooth ride.

This has free permanent residence in my head, even though some of his music is completely batshit. I don't even know what she's singing but it's up there forever.

Good old whataboutism.

Even if they use windows they can use a firewall and DNS block and get rid of absolutely all telemetry.

You can't do that in a car.

How does a firewall protect a large glass covered opening

By reducing the amount of people willing to get burned, mostly it will be firemen crossing.
