@ShredderFeeder @mhoye If you are driving that little, you are not the problem. You are fine with an ICE. Or an e-bicycle. It is not worth the mining footprint to switch to a huge USian EV with 300 miles range and enough weight to take up two spots on a car ferry.

@Brad_Rosenheim @mhoye it's good since I won't be caught dead in any car built after 2014.

EV's aren't my hang-up, but internet-connected cars? Not a fucking chance. Those are a hack away from being a mass-casualty-event. (All someone has to do is "Every Tesla Turns Left NOW!") and we're all done for.

Yeah, there are some dismal scenarios out there, all made possible by driving a mobile computer inviting others to control it.

@Brad_Rosenheim @mhoye I don't even like the computer in my 2010. My only solace is that you have to connect a physical cable *AND* have the key to hack it...

(and even then, I have mechanical brakes and a real steering column that's connected to the wheels by more than just a wire.)

Great. Stay home all the time except when you drive nonstop to whogivesashitville. We'll let you know when there's an electric dickmobile
