If it doesn't sound like K.I.T.T., I'm not interested....

Now, just think of the personal data GM could share, sell, and use, when gathered from a car functioning in the capacity described in the article. 😳 bsky.app/profile/mari...

I just want a car from a manufacturer that doesn’t collect and sell my location data and doesn’t force me to pay for a subscription service to use the expensive machine I payed to own

Will it also drive off a cliff for me, Thelma and Louise style? Hey GM. I am a technologist but I would reallly like an EV that has fantastic range and does not try to run my life. Less is More.

The marketing department needs an intervention

Our local resistance cell agreed that no one should buy a car built after 2008. I guess this is an aside.

And it comes with a yearly subscription price so it's not enough that you spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy the car, you then have to spend several hundred dollars per year on service subscriptions if you want to use the car.

Dude from a liability perspective I don't like that one bit.

But can it clean my house?

I'm guessing most don't want this..

The business trend of shoving shit down people’s throats nobody wants or asked for, continues unabated

What could possibly go wrong?!!!

No. How about they make a car that normal people can afford? (Because profit margins are so fat on AI loaded garbage for the 1% there's no need to make affordable cars anymore.)

No

I want my car to get me from point A to point B safely and at a low cost. This is already not ideal and a backup to 1) live in a walkable environment and 2) have consistent reliable public transportation

By 2030, your car will process 100+ GB of data *per second*—more neural bandwidth than a cat's brain. Your commute is becoming a sentient lifeform.

What about... a lover?

Me: You should stop before we go over that cliff. AI: The cliff now has the Greta Thundberg Bridge build in 1977 and funded by Dolly Parton. Me: That can’t be true!! AI: You are right to push back. The bridge was funded by the Lincoln Administration in 1936. Proceeding. Me: Aaaahhhh!!! 🚗⛰️💥

No thank you.

So it would be like my mom when I was a child. Mixed feelings. Lol

Will it be electric?

Why? Who wants this?

Not a chance.

How about they just make a car that works and has CarPlay? Not an SUV, not “CUV,” a car. Is that too fucking much to ask for? Apparently yes.
