Time to buy a Daimler-Benz W123 240D (OM616) with 53 kW (72 hp) and a 4-spd manual. Yep, that's all I need.

You guys are hilarious with your "I'd just keep/buy an old car." The EU is also making it illegal to repair older vehicles and forcing people to replace "outdated" models with more environmentally friendly ones. China did the same thing with a buyback and destroy of all their outdated vehicles. Their aren't going to be any old vehicles. The only way to address this is to demand privacy rights and protection NOW.
Kind of a good idea if (and that's a big fucking if) the videos just were properly protected. I mean how else could you prove cell phone use after a crash?
Would think that limiting engine power would be better way to go. We don't really need 400hp+ cars that go from 0-100 in 3 sec. If I had such a car when I just started driving,I probably wouldn't be writing this.....
Also enforce carmode on mobiles - black out mobile screen when car is moving.
Finally, alle the beeps and blinking warning -toooo many already. I got warning fatigue, I just ignore the message and get irritated
