Late-model vehicles have become the new Panopticon, to track you, spy on you, and manipulate your mind as you drive, all while gathering data on you as a consumer. Is a brand new, $50,000 car worth all this? I like to think that there is a real market for a basic car that does nothing other than reliably get you from point A to point B, with no tracking, no gadgets, no totalitarian abolition of privacy. But the drug of convenience is powerful, as is the desire to appear a member of this 5G Tommyknockers society. “one of us, one of us”. We’re being asked to sell our soul for admittance.
