New cars today which can be accessed wirelessly are already murder cars. Electric brakes and throttle bodies. Some even come with electric steering. All of which can be controlled remotely. The next step is full control over the driver and their routine.
I bought a new Subaru in 2019, I love it. It has a bunch of "driver aids". It actually works pretty good, it's not intrusive. The dealer gave me a new loaner when I had mine in the shop. Holy Cow! There is no way I'll buy another one. Some of it you can turn off but you have to turn it all off every time you start the damn thing. The most annoying thing is the driver monitor. If you're looking for something at the side of the street you have to look obviously, it's got an alarm that starts going off if you don't have your eyes exactly on the road. A bunch of other shit. But geez.
Carb and cap is the way to go imo. If you get a fuel issue on the side of the road in a new car, you're gonna need a tow. If you've got a fuel issue on a carb, you can fix it enough with a screwdriver to get it home. All this computer shit just isnt right.
Yeah I hear ya. But first, I hate carbs. Very inefficient. Also new cars a certainly more safe, have more horsepower and very nice features. But, I understand what you're saying, yes if it breaks down, I'll need a tow truck.
