    I don't do forbes, but I'll be sticking to my good oldie thanks and they can shove their stupid business models. There is no end to this and they couldn't give a flip for peoples privacy.

    More on the car of the future and its assault on privacy ...

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-20/the-car-of-the-future-will-sell-your-data

    This article presented me with the image of herd animals on the Serengeti. Opportunist feeders lurking in the tall grasses, others strategically located at watering holes and even more roosting in trees or nestled behind rocks. The only difference from how it actually works in the wild is that here the predators have formed an alliance and every slab of raw meat has been claimed before the kill. The herd could stampede which would scatter the predators, but that takes savvy leadership, which is unfortunately absent.

    None of that for me, thanks :)

    I'll be keeping my '92 Civic hatchback forever.
