If theres gonna be regulation, I want it regulated that every car have physical buttons, and blinding high beams are illegal, modem connectivity is illegal, and subscription seats are illegal along with locked down ecus that can only be unlocked at dealers (see: Volkswagen electronic e brakes) being illegal. This is how legislation should work for us but it doesn't. We get garbage that makes all our lives worse.
