True, however we must fight this because otherwise, when you need to buy a car, there won't be an option without a shitty subscription attached

Remember that some of is live in shitty cities with bad or no alternative ways of moving around

I agree totally, but I don't think it will matter with new vehicles. They're going to track you and spay on you more than your phone. I will forever drive old stuff. I'm a mechanic so that's a super easy option for me. I won't own anything new enough to spy on me, my car will be MY car.

100%, I am not a mechanic but I like auto work and have learned most of the basics. It is not really enough to own an older car forever but it should help out to some extent.
