So you just go to a crack website and search for the suspension crack. A few months later while riding a very smooth ride over a thousand dinosaur corpses, your computer tells the car to steer to the right abruptly in the 75mph freeway.

If I were a BMW customer, I'd be suspending my purchase of their rip-off vehicles.

Lol, good luck with that. I'll stuck with my dumb, subscription-less and app-less ebike. And still manage to beat cars due to insane traffic.

I really wish biking was more of an option in most of the us. Unfortunately the vast majority of cities in this country are car-centric strip mall wastelands. Nothing like having a 5 foot wide bike lane right next to a 65mph highway.

So, the car gets very expensive suspension, but to use the features you need a subscription? So if I don't want the active suspension feature, I am still stuck with the very expensive active suspension hardware...

Yeah, no, I'll stick with Subaru. Everything they make uses tech from the dinosaur age of motoring.

Yeah nah. I hope these car company keep adding subscriptions, it'll hopefully push people over the edge and hurt their sales. These cars are becoming unfix-able. I can't imagine how much it would cost to get this system fixed.

They would make turn signals a subscription service but they won't ever get any money from that.

I do love german cars, but now they just trolling. Not that I can afford a BMW, but would place a third mortgage on my house if only it wasn’t for the subscription. What next “subscription on your breaks has expired. Do you want AI to take it from here? Please download our app”
