To be clear - they've been doing this for years, but you used to have to take your car into a dealership for THEM to apply a patch, this is actually MUCH EASIER.

What if you just never connect it to the net?
I dunno, man
And this entire post is why i will never own a car in my life, miserable pieces of junk that you pay thousands and thousands for so they can spy on you and make your life worse.
Mopeds are just better in every way that matters, if i need to travel further than that i'll take the train.

Thank god I will never be able to justify paying more than 8k on any car I will ever own in my life, you rich bitches can keep your fancy 50k 30 year morgage at 18% interest ass smart cars that need 2k in maintenance the second it leaves the dealers lot. I hate being dinged to death to wear a seatbelt and consider it harassment and an invasion of my agency, let alone this BS lol
But... you should really wear a seatbelt. Actually, haven't cars been giving users seatbelt alarms for like... over 30 years now? It's a strange hill to die on, friend.
Oh absolutely I buckle up pretty much every time. But if I want to take the car 2 minutes down the road and I deem it an acceptable level of risk to not bother with the belt, I shouldn't be harassed to do so by my own machine. You boss around your tools, not the other way around. A little light on the dash should be enough, its not like I don't know what im doing. Also our countries regulations on that may be different most cars from the early to mid 2000s here don't ding you to death. If it indangers other peoples health and safety sure but me not wearing a seatbelt isn't hurting anyone but potentially myself, if I end up crashing through the windshield and splattering on the asphalt thats the consequences of my own very stupid) decicion.

This might be "unpopular opinion" territory - but I kinda like that my car is better now than it was when I bought it. 🙃
(Due to over the air updates.)
