Is this the same #car_industry that locks cars via #software until owners pay #ransomware to remove limits on its ability to charge batteries, accelerate, run at optimal settings?

#Smart_cars enslave users while destroying the planet. It gives me bitter amusement to note how #Tesla or other car makers get a free ride (sic) from the public but corps like #Monsanto or #McDonalds are loathed. They are all loathesome.

I am just glad I can live car-free in my city :-(
