of course they are. why do you think they did all that work to have them spy on you?

also insurance in the us looks like a huge scam to be.

like, you are forced to get private insurance????

  Yes. How do you deal with it where you live? Most people don't have $120,000 laying around to pay off a Tesla or Mercedes if they total one.
  
  Usually we pay from pocket in the occasion someone sues and we dont have insurance, but there aint many mercedes going around either.
  
  9/10 we will be negotiating a repair amongst ourselves unless its, like, mad hospital stays or very damaged cars and stuff.
Once again I do not regret buying my somewhat late model car that has no touchscreen and no network connections, with excellent gas mileage.
Because of course 30 years without an accident isn't enough. You must drive like you are completely devoid of joy. Don't you dare try to experience the freedom you feel when driving fast in a nice car through the mountains. No fun is allowed, ever. Big Brother is always watching.
Can't spy on you if you drive a shit box from 2001.
