That's a valid point. Personally, I'd prefer to take the increased chance of being seriously injured or killed in an accident over being under constant surveillance. But this is a thing reasonable people can and do have different perspectives on.

I went off the edge of a forest road and head on into a tree in my 2022 Tacoma. Passenger and I both walked away with no injuries.

I have completely reevaluated my stance (was yours) after this experiment. I'll take the plastic car that explodes on contact if it saves my life.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm completely on board with this sentiment. I think where you & I diverge in our viewpoints is when it comes to the surveillance.

Don your tinfoil hat sir. SAR sats can track cars already.

Sure, but so? Even if it can't be eliminated completely, it's worth eliminating what you can. Especially corporate surveillance.
