> The car of the future will sell your data and also be vulnerable to hackers

These hackable cars are not of the future, even many of today's cars can be quite easily hacked with some knowledge and the right tools. Luckily this doesn't seem to happen yet as far as I'm aware.

And I fully agree on repairing old cars and the passion that can be put in these machines. It's in a sense sad that cars like this don't get made anymore, but on the other side it's better for the planet.
