Imagine this happening to cars on the road. So much for the connected world paradigm.
Any "centralization" is against humanity and nature.

  No need to imagine, this WAS happening to Jeep cars on the road just recently

  After that in Q4 2025 Jeep cars had a 4% increase in sales in US
  This is the world we live in, no-one seems to really care
