I don't want the car reporting to insurance hard breaks and such. But frankly I just find these things creepy and I just want a base model car.

we all know american car-centric infrastructure is fuckin evil.

look, you probably know this already, but cars are still the only practical option for most americans; they don't really have a choice. suburbia is subsidized, and so it simply makes financial sense to live in the suburbs, especially if they can't afford to live closer to where they work and shop.

it's great that you care about transportation infrastructure. engage in discussions to inform, of course, but do recognize that it's policy, not people, at fault.
