Electric cars have potential, reducing pollution, increasing efficiency, but I’m sad to see car manufacturers adding so-called smart or connected features on top.
Please work on a simple electric car that’s affordable, relatively light, and that a mechanic down the street can maintain and repair.
Dont bother adding cruft or anti-features. I don’t want an always connected computer/tracker in my car. Don’t need a flat screen, nor a smartphone app to control AC, nor a fancy keyfob that thieves will try to hack.
There are already means of transportation where you don’t need to hold the wheel, and can just sit back and read a book : trains, subways, buses, trams…
They have that in China. It’s not available for sale in the US, due to sanctions an d incredibly outdated ICE-centered safety standards that are responsible for the enshittification of all vehicles in the last ten years.
