Next: I would like them to prohibit software limitations on hardware shipped in products so that if you ship a product with a hardware which is enabled on any device, you may not disable that hardware on different models. Ex - putting a 60kWh battery pack in all of your cars but limiting the usage in software based on pricing, or installing heaters which are enabled in some models but not in others.

I really hope car manufacturers would start making really cheap and basic versions of their cars. Modern cars are filled to the brim with features I could easily live without and don't want to pay extra for.

All I really need is electric windows in the front, heated seats, power steering, ABS/traction control, AC, cruise control, radio with USB and bluetooth, heated rear glass and mirros and that's pretty much it. Reverse camera is nice but not mandatory. The last thing I want for my car is internet access. Abso-fucking-lutely not.

heated rear glass

what's that for? I assume it's for the wintertime? ( I live in PH )

[-] invisinak@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

yeah it's the rear defrost for melting ice and snow in the winter. where I'm from it's all but mandatory in the winters

[-] Thorny_Thicket@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah. To melt ice and snow. Now that I think about it heated steering wheel would be nice too.

[-] Bloodyhog@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Heated windscreen is also a good thing to have.

Yeah but Ford has or atleast had a patent for this so it's not available on other brands
