Exclusive details: ‘It has been a struggle for [our client] to even talk about it enough for us to be able to file this lawsuit on her behalf,’ attorney Quinton Seay told The Independent
Eventually, my car from 2010 is going to bite the dust and I’m going to have to get a newer one and I’m preemptively pissed about it. I’ve got an ebike and use it when I can, but I live somewhere that it isn’t practical to use for all transportation and I need a car, unfortunately. 2008-2014 or so is the technological sweet spot for me: my car has power windows, remote start for when it’s 15° outside, and Bluetooth for my music. It also has no screens, no “assistive technology,” all analog controls, and can be worked on by a normal mechanic without special software. It sucks so much that all this shitty tech that makes cars less safe to drive and harder to use/work on is now mandatory. On the other hand, my wife drives an ancient Toyota pick up truck that’s older than I am, and it doesn’t even have power steering. It’s also a nightmare to drive, but one of a different kind (though you can disassemble the whole thing with a screwdriver and socket wrench, which is neat).
