You think car manufacturers are not going to do the same for non-US markets? Cars have miles and KM on most models even for non-US markets, and the US is the only significant country that uses the imperial system still.
The only difference is the order. Metric countries (everywhere) have KM more prominent than miles.
Of course. But this article is USA specific.
"I dont want a chinese car because it would just spy on me"
I only like it when the us government and completely unregulated corporations spy on me. It’s the American way
Looks like I'll need to start stockpiling old camrys and corollas in addition to hard drives, routers, motherboards, ram, dumb TVs, flip phones/whatever else they're taking away this year.
You'd think more libertarian types would be more in favor of walkable cities, biking, and such.
Libertarians are in favor of maximum freedom for the maximally wealthy first and foremost. It's an ideology promoted by the late Koch brothers.
It doesn't take a genius to realize how this type of "freedom" shakes out for the less wealthy, and then further down, for the have-nots.
Basically libertarians are just undercover fascists.
Libertarians are people who turn a blind eye to externalities.
So... ICE will know both your location and face every time you get in your car? Yeah, I'm sure this won't result in a genocide. ^/s^
It won't result in genocide but it will facilitate it.
I can't wait to have to buy active countermeasures for this shit. /s
Bought a 2000 Honda Civic precisely because I don't want to be spied upon.
Spank my ass cause everything else already does, so it makes my effort almost completely moot.
