Its a logarithmic scale, it makes sense that 10 is the maximum. The difference between warp 9.1 and 9.2 is the same as the difference between warp 1 and 6, for example.

It's like decibels, there is a theoretical maximum. It just doesn't make much sense to TV audiences since bigger number = more fast, in a linear way.

The warp scale did indeed change. I Actually seem to remember that was adressed in TNG.

Also the stardate naming convention changed after TOS.

A sharkfin antenna is just a design feature. It says nothing about what data is being transmitted.

The key to answering this question is knowing where you live.

I was very interested in this car and tested it for about a week, the first thing I did was put a piece of black tape over the sensor. It does not complain, it doesn't notice.

If the systems are enabled, it warns you that it doesn't work, which is every time you start the car until you press the button.

I have no idea what kind of data this car gathers but out of all the cars I've shopped for lately this one was definitely the least intrusive of them all. The fact that this car in particular shows up here is kinda wild to me.

I didn't end up getting it because the trim levels are weird.

There are in Europe. Which is also where this car is from.

Assuming you live in Europe, check out the citroen ec3. Base trim doesn't even have infotainment and is affordable as hell. Still a great car to drive and very practical.

One thing the Renault does great is the ability to turn all those systems off with a dedicated button to the left of the steering wheel.

Unfortunately all these systems are mandatory for car manufacturers these days. Renault handels it about as well as a car maker can to be honest.
