If only it could take that abuse without setting off its airbags...

No shit,

Now I want a volvo station wagon? Being in your 30s is weird...

The car is built in Torslanda Sweden, so Volvo OSD should be available. You can also get Volvo Xc40‘s through OSD, yet they are built in Belgium.

Does this qualify for the Volvo Overseas Delivery program’s pick up in Sweeden option? or is that China now?

Most people don’t remember anything about what Snowden revealed.

Not true. While the potential for abuse is likely as large, at least there is public backlash when an agency gets caught doing it. 

The obvious next point is that other major markets—like, in the U.S., Japan, and Europe—don’t do this sort of thing, raising a whole bunch of concerns that China’s leveraging this data to keep tabs on the country’s population. 

WA State is doing a pilot of Pay Per Mile.... which tracks your car. I’ve pretty much accepted that we are always under surveillance.  

Your iPhone knows a fair bit of that, but Apple itself doesn’t.

The US government can actually get the location of most modern cars if they wanted to. Simply file a request under the patriots act to the cell built into most modern cars and they can triangulate your cars location.

On the one hand, it’s truly Orwellian sht. Or the other hand, Google and Apple already know who we are, where we go, what we buy, who we talk to, etc, etc. And Google and Apple are even less accountable than the chinese government.

Even with electricity produced from stupid coal, an electric car is cleaner than an IC, not kissing ass of tesla, just being realistic. Now, you may say that the batteries are bad too, so is the gasoline and oil production.

You think the US government doesn’t know where is your Tesla?

the soul is what the scion xb was.

Uh... I have no clue what you are referring to when it comes to hosts laughing at scientists.

That’s a hard take given that CNN, FOX, CNBC and most of the other news networks are seriously peddling “news” barely fit to read and done so at a 5th grade level of comprehension. NPR is one of the only outlets that actually still reports the news.

Wat? You are smoking crack

... what?
