we should implement laws that say every car must have some sort of manual overwrite that just disables all the "smart" shit and lets you drive "analogue"

can't you just disconnect the vehicle from the internet? Realistically you don't need a car connected to the internet if you also have a phone with you.

Should have gotten the Ford. They're so jewish they notify you about recalls that need 2gb software updates to resolve, and they encourage a free mobile mechanic to apply the update or you go into the dealership instead of just sending out an update over cellular modem, until like 3 months later they send it out because they have to.

Why would I, as a corrupt lawmaker, pass such a law? Smart vehicles allow corporations to explo- I mean provide additional value to the consumer, which means they have more money to treat me to expensive dinners with young girls. Through these vehicle manufacturers we can track catt- I mean potential terrorists and if need be eliminate them remotely without endangering law enforcement. These features are necessary for safety and like seatbelts they will be soon be required by law.

why did she buy such a shit car just to complain about it like she couldnt think this would happen just from seeing the screen?
i will never buy a car made after like 2010 theyre shit from then on too much emissions bs that can go wrong, egr valves, adblue systems. all these things that just make the car break sooner. plus i dont like power steering it feels way too light and floaty. i will keep buying shitboxes until i die even if they become super expensive i dont care. they feel nicer to drive and are far more reliable. mechanics also love working on them because they are simpler. a lot of these newer electric cars cant even be repaired
i like a gear sticks, i like radio buttons, i like having actual door handles all things that no longer exist. along with that all new cars are required to have facial tracking cameras. or there was that recent death in a golf van because the lane change assist system got stuck on and drove a van into an oncoming vehicle killing 3 of the 4 occupants. wouldnt happen in an old shitbox

Really boggles my mind, how is any of this legal? Doesn't it pose a safety issue if I'm in some kind of emergency and I can't get to where I need to because my car needs an update?
If I were a car company I'd just notify that there's an update available and ask if the owner wants to update the next time they start the car up, and just keep nagging them if they say no. Annoying, sure, but not as annoying as not having my car available when I need it

The owner chose to update now. They could have opted for later like the GMC website states for that car. If it was an emergency you wouldn't update. It doesn't auto update itself with no option. OP's pic is literally twitter ragebait.

I am convinced everyone calling out ESLs on this site is just a projecting ESL themselves because not only do natives not care or even notice minor grammar mistakes but you also just expose yourself in posts like this as not even knowing british English yourself
