forget smart TVs, I want somebody to just make a decent dumb TV. Same thing goes for cars, I feel like there is a huge market for "dumb" products. Manufacturers feel the need to keep adding features for some reason
But yes, I want a bigger market for "dumb" products such as cars, and other consumer appliances such as TVs.
EU for example has regulations that make mandatory for all new cars to come with tracking devices and logging of what you do with the car.
EDIT: just remembered the name of one of such things. It is "eCall", now mandatory on EU. It mandates all cars must have GPS, Galileo, microphone, logging, cellphone transmitter, and be able to detect a serious emergency happened and call the police automatically and provide them with all data needed.
Seemly removing that crap from the car is illegal too. (I don't live in EU right now so I didn't dove too deep in that subject).
At least the EU cares about the privacy implications of some of the stuff it does. If/when this happens in the US, they'll just let the auto companies offset the cost by selling the data it collects. For them it's a win-win-win, the government looks good by improving safety to 90% of people, companies can make more money by selling data, and the government can buy that data to circumvent the legal restrictions on tracking citzens directly.
