There’s an API and even third party buttons.

I don’t think there’s any other modern car getting so much scrutiny. Ironically it is making it so much better than competitors they basically have no chance to catch up.

I think you're describing Tesla, I have no idea lacking context. You couldn't pay me to drive Tesla at this point.

It's still very easy to catch up on the latest trends and developments and what people are building and talking about. Even though most of us kinda hate it, it does have weight.

It's pretty easy to learn from others. At what cost? I'm not willing to give up privacy. Maybe if there were paid social media services where users aren't the product. I might buy something like that.

No. It is responding to regulation.

It's smart regulation. The article suggests it's in response to consumer demand.

I'd disagree. Title is appropriate "could cut food waste" is very true and pretty mild. A clickbait title would be "Gene-edited non-browning bananas will solve food waste problem"

It's mild click bait. They aren't slamming hunger in the nuts, my point is the banana turns brown. It's not "non-browning".

Wipers and turn signals are physical controls, I don’t find them much different than any other car.

I haven’t had to change heat/cool settings, I have it set to 70F and I haven’t had to adjust it.

See. I'm a hacker. I need to control things. I bought the car and want access to it.
