You don’t own your electronics anymore, you are allowed to use them.
Nor your house
Won’t affect me. I refuse to own a vehicle made after 2010. But I do look forward to all the articles on “hacking” your car.
People have already posted videos to YT documenting how to disable the ‘connected car’ features on quite a few cars. All you need is a good toolkit and a friend to read the instructions. Most of the ones i’ve seen are simple “remove parts of the dash and then locate, unplug, and remove a component” although one was much more involved and required clipping leads between chips and circuit boards… so your mileage may vary.
The incidence of people pulling the communications module to defeat all the telematics spyware bullshit is going to be on the rise. And I’m all for it. Naturally, this bunch of dicks will eventually engineer these systems to be harder to defeat. The ingenuity of hardware hacking types will have to rise to the occasion.
Most Keeps, BMWs, Audi’s and Mercedes already have them integrated with the other modules.
And the young people think this is fine.
Some enterprising young person(s) will figure out away to defeat the software or hardware involved. After the stupid auto stop/start feature came out there were devices you could plug into the OBD port to turn this feature off permanently.
50 cal solves a lot of problems in two ways.
I read where a Tesla can lock you out of your vehicle for nonpayment and autonomously drive itself back to the dealership.

My newest car is a 2003 Hyundai, Elantra. The only thing it cares about is, “I’m on. Let’s go.”
I don’t think my ’74 F-350, cares about anything.
I think that we need to find out how many of our congress critters have invested in the company that owns this technology. If any are invested then nix it as a conflict of interest. This needs to be done with any bill that uses our money to promote their interests. All bills use our money
