We need cars that aren’t giant IoT boxes that keep phoning home. The vast majority of “smart” car systems shouldn’t need an Internet connection to function. But yes, I agree with your sentiment.
What WILL happen is that more and more non-critical features will become pay to play. You’ll rent the air conditioner in your car.
Installing your own software will become (or likely already is) illegal since if you’re u do that you could play without pay on the car that you paid for with your money.
Corporations must be limited I’m what they can do, NOW. No more data monitoring and selling. No more ads pushed. No more pay to play. No more limiting what you can do with the products that you buy and own
as long as the ecu allows u to start ur car even when changing the radio or tinkering with the infotainement system i wouldn’t mind…but i probably doubt it: car manufacturers will really tie critical car features to spying hardware so they could reach their end. yea, an older car is the best answer for this. also ecu firmwares and sensors and car parts needd to be open sourced somehow
yea man buy an old car and riddle it with fancy features: (TPMS):tire monitoring pressure system, Lidar for brake anticipation and also highway cruising, parking sensors and cameras back and front, dashcams front and back (even cameras at the door handles like a Tesla). Tbh i like it when an old car gets modded by third party with latest car features that way u really saving the environment from a ton of metal junk. A BMW or A Tesla are just filled to the brim with sensors, but also more parts mean more breaking parts so there should be a balance between refurbishing an old car and making it basically undriveable with breakdowns.
Someone could probably make a good amount of money charging like $50 to stick a nail through the cellular chip of new cars to disable that phone home shit.
we need a mozilla or a linux car tbh…that is feature upgradable…like adding extensions or apps

Never gonna happen unless governments force them.

Then we can joke for two decades that this year will be the year the Linux car will be able to drive
We’ve had up until the last few years.
You just need an older car with a DIN profile radio. You can swap it out for whatever you want.
I should chuck in a box with homebrew firmware for the lulz.

The Teslas are powered by Linux as far as I know.
