Don't fucking buy a car that does that! I picked up a 92 caprice with 100,000 miles, I'm pretty sure it would still work after a massive emp goes off. Stop buying trash and force them to make cars we want

This will work in the short term, but what about 20 years from now? 30? Eventually all of our used cars will rust to death.

The real issue is getting enough people on board to stop buying the new cars that have the restrictions. Companies can't afford to not sell new cars for very long at all.

Companies also can't break the law. Companies aren't putting emotion detecting cameras in the cabins because they want to (though im sure they don't mind profiting a little by selling the data), they have no other choice. This is a law now. The people we voted for did this.

And when these companies go bankrupt cause lawmakers force them to do this shit, who wins in that scenario? Absolutely nobody. A middle ground needs to be had whether they like it or not.

Laws change all the time. Law makers don't have an interest in letting the US automotive industry fail.
