What? I own an EV and it has 0 self driving. It doesn’t track anything more than a normal car because it has exactly the same system (basic automatic lights and ‘keeping in line’ alarm). Just say you don’t like modern cars all of which have those features, getting angry specifically at EVs is silly.
I guess what they were trying to say is: with fossil fuel cars, there can be zero electronics, heck, if you are willing to drive the least optimized car, and start the car mechanically, you can have zero electrical system. With EVs there will always be electronics. They simply can’t function without. And who says electronics, in our societies, says DRM, subscription based features, etc.
But yeah, I had a 1997 Honda civic hatchback, it already had electronics. I got a 2004 Volvo V50, it had more electronics. And when I see modern cars, they are choke full of electronics, and many have “features” such as GPS tracking, constant connectivity, internal cameras, …
It’s like TVs really, it’s nearly impossible to find a modern TV that doesn’t need to connect to the Internet, and that doesn’t carry the risk of its microphone or camera recording when you are unaware or unwilling.
