I have never owned or operated a car and this doesn't really make me want to.
It's time to root cars, it looks like.
And lose all warranty? Nah rather buy a car from someone else
This might be an unpopular opinion but I think this is basically ok. I mean more power = more drain on the battery and thus they need to make more money to offset the possible increase in Warranty cases. Also this would only really affect a tiny little subset of Buyers.
Those new Mercs look fucking hideous too
BMW and Mercedes are in a competition to make the ugliest and most user unfriendly cars on the market.
Let's build open source cars.
I would be fine with a slot for my debit card and a huge BOOST BUTTON that cost like a dime to use for 10 s3conds.
Only if the navigation system starts to talk to you about family in Vin Diesel's voice.
Why they just can't go to a car mechanic and like change that?
We have this issue in my industry. You have to have the (as we say) the golden code to unlock features of a device you already own. The DLC of bullshit.
A lot of cars already have access ports made by third parties to flash ECU tunes on.
If cars like this become the norm, I'm sure we'll see a lot more of these to bypass paywalls on your own cars
way above my paycheck, the paywall it is, the car also, but who cares... time to stop buying cars, and use the public transport and bikes... better for the environment anyway.
It is the right decision for some mass transportation, but you can't make cars obsolete with public transportation. Especially outside major cities.
Too bad that Mercedes makes buses too
