    Electric cars have potential, reducing pollution, increasing efficiency, but I’m sad to see car manufacturers adding so-called smart or connected features on top.

    Please work on a simple electric car that’s affordable, relatively light, and that a mechanic down the street can maintain and repair.

    Dont bother adding cruft or anti-features. I don’t want an always connected computer/tracker in my car. Don’t need a flat screen, nor a smartphone app to control AC, nor a fancy keyfob that thieves will try to hack.

    There are already means of transportation where you don’t need to hold the wheel, and can just sit back and read a book : trains, subways, buses, trams…
