But if it has all those limitations, why would anyone buy it?
Also all these things he talks about you can just turn off lol.
Don't want the car to send data? Turn it off...
Don't want the speed limiter to be on? Turn it off...
Edit: lol why am I being downvoted? I'm right. Both are in car settings you can just turn off. Connectivity and speed limiter + traffic sign recognition.
But they're all ON by default, right?
Depends on the country of sale and what the dealer does with it.
Some countries it has to be law be off by default.
