    I hope people realize that the solution isn’t really to just not buy one, especially since this is the way the industry is heading. The solution is regulations, strict regulations.

    Stuff like this should be a slam dunk for congress but we all know which side they are on.

    Imo, the only solution is every device with an antenna must be legally required to put a manual off switch.

    Cell service, wifi, Bluetooth, any future service. If it broadcasts it needs a physical off switch.

    If I sold my car to a government official and they found out I had hidden a camera, microphone and GPS in the car, I’d get a visit from the FBI. Yet companies do it with impunity. Does the CEO of Subaru have recordings of Bernie Sanders driving in his car?

    Are any of you even able to afford new cars? Who the hell’s buying this shit? I probably won’t have a new car ever.

      Buying a new car never really made sense to me even when you could afford it. 2 - 3 year old model is effectively brand new but a lot cheaper. Why pay more if you can pay less?
