I'm ok with a decent amount of tech in a car. Like I'm fine being able to connect my phone to the car and have android auto take over the infotainment system.
But the HVAC stuff needs to be buttons I can access/control without looking or very minimal looking.
I don't want/need my car to have a SIM card, or connect to wifi, and report what I'm doing. If they want to do that, then they can give me the car for free and I'll drive it around letting them collect my driving habits.
Edit: Oh, and I'm sure as hell not paying some subscription fee on top of the price of the car.
I mean, that's kind of what they're doing in that having another revenue stream will reduce the car price relative to what would have been the case if they couldn't do so.
If some people want to make that trade, I think that they should have the option to do so.
I don't personally want to make that trade myself, though.
I disagree, most of these subscriptions options are all built in and "enabled" if bought. There ain't no car manufacturers looking to reduce their car prices for us. It's profit above everything
