    Yeah, but you can’t keep buying second hand cars. Some brand really needs to start making dumb electric cars (it at least allow you to replace/upgrade the computer easily).

      There’s a company in Los Angeles that will convert any ICE into an EV. Those are likely to be dumb EVs if you want the option now.

        And that costs a fortune compared to what a mass produced new car with a basic open source stack would cost if someone built it.

      Yup. I’m looking into buying an EV, which naturally leads me to looking into disabling all the smart crap.

      I just need it to go from A to B, and play audio from my phone on the way. That’s it. I don’t need weather reports, cameras, auto pilot, etc, I just need a pedal and an aux jack or something to connect to speakers. Oh, and the speakers are optional, I can bring my own.
