@theruran True.

Thinking about cars twice, I guess we will not have personal cars in the future, so this would be fruitless. I love public transport. But in less populated regions this would be on-demand car sharing (of autonomous cars of course). As to the media articles (blogs?), the concepts for organizing this don't respect data minimization principles and force to use smartphones with Google or Apple accounts. I would be out.

@theruran Will we learn for the future, at least? I wish autonomous cars would not be allowed before every aspect is tested. But I'm sure they will force them into the market (too) soon.

@theruran I'd rather root my car than wait for authorities. But that's of course not safe either. We needed grass root NGOs that gain enough competences to test and analyse the cars really independently. A pre-condition would be open-source firmware though. So in a first step these organisations (like consumers' or patients' association, but for car users) would try and force open-source upon cars.

That's of course difficult. It took decades to force non-proprietary internet router standards, and obliged open-source is not in sight. And the telecom industry is powerful, but I guess the automotive industry is even worse. So, a challenge, but I think, not impossible.

@codeberg @Edent Is there a free alternative to scholar.guggle.com in this galaxy?
