I hope they don't act surprised when cheap Chinese cars without all that crap devour their market share.
That only delays the problem, doesn't fix it, sadly. Chinese firms understand capitalism better than the west imo, so once they have a large market share, they will likely pull off the same shit. Still, for now, they are probably the better option.
For me, personally, I am trying to keep my 300 thousand km car alive :)
Very good point and I think I have proof. You can already see them inserting ads in their low budget phones
