Part of the public transportation in my country is basically run by the chinese, surveillance cameras everywhere. You are probably not aware of what happens in China, and we are not far from that.
FoxNews? Maybe you shouldn't assume everbody lives in the US.

THIS EXACTLY. Having your own car that's not electric and not controlled by software updates will be the epitome of freedom in the future. I'd bet anything that Teslas can get locked remotely, and electric car charging infrastructure can be shut down in a heartbeat.
There's authoritarianism all over the world. Britain has fully embraced creating a CBDC and a surveillance state. It's not all about the US, where some semblance of freedom still exists.
