    can we get a car that doesn't self-drive or phone-home?

    just replace all the gas burning, oil dripping parts

    electric cars also produce way less brake dust particulates, so it's a win all around

    just stop trying to make a car a smartphone

      i'm actually of the opposite camp...sort of.

      I want a dead simple car with the Waymo Driver installed and integrated.

      My current car is a 2026 Model Y, but between public transit, Waymo being available in my town, and, soon, me taking possession of a top-of-the-line Brompton electric folding bike, I hardly drive the thing.

      When I do drive it, however, I want it to drive itself, since I'm probably driving because I am either (a) going on a road trip that is made more fun by the car driving itself, or (b) am going somewhere that I have to drive to and am wishing the entire time that I wasn't.
