I really don't like where all of this is going. All the integrated pay-to-use, cloud-enabled, surveillance (and surveillance-adjacent) tech was bad enough. Then there's the runaway average pricing for cars and increasing loan terms. And now we're getting AI foisted in while we're at it? At what point does it implode, with everyone just sticking with older tech and sticking to the used market?

Shit. They're going to make old cars illegal, aren't they?

    Why do you think cash for clunkers happened ? All a plan to get rid of repairable, affordable, non government/corporation controlled cars. Its been the plan since the tech came along to make it possible.

    2027, your car is mandated to be filled with cameras, mics, and air sensors , all of this sent to a database, or you cannot drive. This is not conspiracy. This is real.

    Really hate this era. Can I skip ahead 70 years after collapse or go back 30 years please ?

    If this takes 70 years to collapse humanity won't be here to witness it.

    Nah, collapse is happening in 10 years or less. I figured 70 years would be where its all either rebuilt again or a total wasteland.
