So you dont think cars made today (or from about 2016 ish to now) dont watch your every move and aren't remotely controllable from either the dealer or the government if they wanted to? It does not need to be a self driving car when your car has internet access, electric brakes steering and throttle and doors. It can all be controlled.

Like, theres many videos and articles testing and proving this and I'm not going to find them for you because its dead easy (someone posted some here already). Even a decade ago, Tesla locked a guys car down remotely thousands of miles away because he was installing some custom software on it and they didnt like that. What if that guy had a medical or other emergency and had to drive somewhere at that time? its not safe to allow cars to be remotely controlled and it sure as hell isn't good for privacy. Nowadays its much worse. Why are you so upset that people try to expose the corruption ? Are you an automaker?

Please feel free to show me where I said that, because if anyone would fucking read what I actually quoted and responded to, they wouldn't look fucking stupid.
