unfortunately, outrage only lasts a few weeks and then the consumer rolls over. I can see a future market for dumb cars.
All I need is a stick shift and radio smart enough to parse and navigate mp3 files. The car doesn’t even have to come with that radio as it’s a trivial aftermarket upgrade.
You can also play MP3 files from a flash drive and navigate.
Can't help you with the stick shift though!
You will not even be able to manually drive as you will be deemed too much of a hazard for all the autonomous cars.
Some are so loud they wake up neighbors. Others don’t shut off at the NHTSA recommended 30kph, and sound like distant ambulances on the freeway.
Even if it is legal to disable them, many insurance policies include a carve out that invalidates your coverage if you do so. So, you could lose your house as punishment without ever getting to defend yourself in front of a jury.
