This particular offense is two-pronged; it's better for safety, sure, but bloating cars with all this extra tech lets them keep charging more and more for everything—nobody makes an "entry level" vehicle anymore, because that's not as profitable. There's actually a third prong, in that it also makes cars increasingly unserviceable. Everything is loaded with proprietary software and so many computers that you're forced to take your cars to a dealership for many kinds of repairs, where they're just as likely to try and get you on the hook for a new lease so they can keep siphoning your money. Sadly, most Americans are proud consumers and will fall for it.
Basically, everything's a fucking scam in America. Now I'm grumpy. Here's a little Ford. God bless this ponzi scheme of a country.
