You don't own your vehicle anymore
(videotourl.com)
Bicycles are vehicles. I definitely own it.
I've been riding motorcycles for a couple decades and now that they're all fancy and computer controlled, most bike have their ECUs cracked within a couple years. Granted most of the time it's to remove Euro-5 emissions controls 🙄, or remove speed limiters. But could this be an option to disable car surveillance?
I recognize car companies will probably retaliate by saying you voided warranty, but so far most motorcycle companies don't do that.
There are those still content with gas engine performance.
I sincerely doubt this will be limited to EVs going forward.
No, they use them because of the smell and noise. Infant seeking attention.
we live in a fucking dystopian nightmare, i hate it here
Even ebikes are going to shit with all their DRM, if you want a high end one
So, people are buying those trucks because they watched too many horror movies.
There's a movie scene in that. Protagonist is being chased, desperately tries to start the car.
