But there indeed do exist cars that do that, so, technically he’s correct. There’s other cars that don’t have self driving but can be hacked and remotely disabled while driving, IIRC the video I watched like, 4y(?) ago was some random Jeep SUV, they shut it down while it was driving on the highway. The video cameras are also not super cool, there have been cases of Tesla employees using them to spy on people (who, iirc, were fucking in a Tesla), the computer in the dash (as well as the cameras) are reporting your driving habits (selling your data) to your insurance companies so they can raise your rates, Ford (iirc) recently patented a driver facing camera that “detects if you’re drunk or agitated” which, of course drunk driving is bad, but that’s too invasive of a measure for me, personally.
And as self driving mode becomes more prevalent, that means it will be more models that actually can do the exact phrasing you’re picking apart, he’s still not wrong, he’s just a little early on that one part.
It really is a significant issue, and only getting worse.
So you dont think cars made today (or from about 2016 ish to now) dont watch your every move and aren’t remotely controllable from either the dealer or the government if they wanted to? Like, theres many videos and articles testing and proving this and I’m not going to find them for you because its dead easy (someone posted some here already). Even a decade ago, Tesla locked a guys car down remotely thousands of miles away because he was installing some custom software on it and they didnt like that. What if that guy had a medical or other emergency and had to drive somewhere at that time? its not safe to allow cars to be remotely controlled and it sure as hell isn’t good for privacy. Nowadays its much worse. Why are you so upset that people try to expose the corruption ? Are you an automaker?

Please feel free to show me where I said that, because if anyone would fucking read what I actually quoted and responded to, they wouldn’t look fucking stupid.
If they had limited themselves to self-driving cars, then it wouldn’t have been a fucking stupid thing to say.
But they didn’t.
And it was fucking stupid.
