    The moment software comes in, much easier to lock people in.

    i’m almost with you (and i get the point you’re making) but my little shitbox from the 80s that i love, she had a tiny computer under the seat. i think it managed the lights and emission system or something.

      They had really got the locking people in down to an art like they so now. It was a more innocent time, computer wise. Now, if it’s not open, basically assume they are doing something bad.
