  • My 1998 Honda Civic SE hatchback was all manual. Manual windows with the canks, manual door locks, manual steering (no power steering), no braking assist, no assist of ANY kind in fact, and a manual transmission. It was basically an engine, four wheels and a steering wheel.

    If EV manufacturers could make cars that are closer to my old Civic, with the only difference being the engine being swapped for an electric motor, I would switch in a heartbeat. For now I’ll stick with my 2010 Mazda 3, which I barely use except for the occasional trip to my family or friends who are out of the city or to do my groceries once a week. Until cars start using manual controls for essentials like door handles and locks, audio systems and temperature control, I want none of it.

    I’m already having trouble with touch screen tablets when I’m not driving, let alone when I need to focus on the damn road.









  • Honestly it’s difficult to say. But it would probably be some kind of cybersecurity and privacy advocacy website that call out companies and how, not only they exploit our private information for profit, but also how that information can be used against you at any point in your life, especially if a government implements a law that infringes on personal rights and freedoms and suddenly your find yourself guilty of something. These companies will gladly hand over that information to the law forces and then you’re fucked.
