I don't think 'walled garden' means what you think it means. If you don't like those apps then just take them out of your home screen and don't use them.
It's because people don't really care. I have to admit, I use an Android phone so I guess I am encouraging privacy violations. But the alternative is to lock myself into Apple's walled garden, inability to simply copy files to my phone, and instead have to use a format iTunes will be happy with or use a flaky in app transfer; I pick sacrificing my privacy.
Uh, no. If the car is advanced enough to drive itself, it can be expected to be fully capable of validating the directions that the user enters for safety and refuse to act on directions that are dangerous. If the person can't control the car, I don't see what commands they can give other than next stop point.
You got that backwards. These corporations just want to beckon these people into the emerging industry of AI delivery vehicle repair, one of the many lucrative positions being created by the AI economy. AI will generate a need for all kinds of new skills, you know.
The only thing that makes sense is for the liability to go to the automaker. It doesn't really matter if they have people sitting behind remote steering wheels with a camera image, or their AI solution; they are saying they want to be your driver and they do not believe you need any local control of the vehicle. Therefore the responsibility rests with them.
Also people tend to forget, the people who do lose jobs will start to flood other industries. My buddy was in a similar situation and was laid off arguably due to automation. He decided to pursue his life long dream of being a residential contractor. He's pretty damn good at it too and has built quite a client list in a short time. Now he's competing with guys who would have had those jobs and the pool of available labor gets larger and wages get smaller for everyone. Just because your job cannot be done by AI, it doesn't mean that it won't be affected.
Well if they want to give up their independence from an EV charge then fine. Maybe I just happen to know a lot of people who go camping in the middle of nowhere.
If you're just commuting a short distance, you can get by with a less reliable (older) gasoline car. If your car breaks down and there is a tow truck $50 away then it's a PITA but hardly worthwhile the money it costs for a bulletproof car. The sharpest demand is for the long road trips. I have a lot of medical history in my family. Personally, I want to know I can drive to the nearest large city in a fairly bad storm in the case of an emergency. That means 3 hours in fairly bad east-coast weather. Granted, many people around here don't need to be quite so cautious but they still need to be self-sufficient. Communiting for us isn't just a bunch of dry pavement.
I own a vehicle specifically because I don't want to negotiate and shop every time I need to travel. I especially hate dealing with rental companies. Besides, I need every cent that I save on gas to make the EV worthwhile.
Taxes in my country only allow business vehicles to be used as a business vehicle. Sure people might buy a bit more expensive vehicle because their personal vehicle can be 10-20% written against business taxes but we're not getting from $5k to $30k here.
Many Canadians drive well into the wilderness to go to the cottage or go camping. A lot of times that is in the winter. There are a lot of road trips to national parks, etc.
Canada is a wee bit bigger than Norway, however. We have a shitload of empty space an EV needs to take you through in a way that is dependable because getting stuck in one of those empty spaces when it is -30C can be a bitch. Well, people have died. You think there is cellphone coverage everywhere? Think again. Welcome to Canada.

Then I would have to have my laptop connected to iCloud, which I do not want.

Seems to be quite a show stopper doesn't it?
Are you allowed to eat the mangled deer in the grill?
Ah yes, the "cashiers and truck drivers will become robot repair people" theory.

The change that needs to happen is to be able to charge a battery as fast as filling the gas tank.

I forgot to add, that is the job for the vehicle I pay $30K plus for. The other one is easy to buy.

sure, places have charging stations. get stuck behind a couple people behind one and there goes your schedule for the entire day.
how many people do you know that have a $30k plus second vehicle?
i have current firefox
except most people pay no more than $5k for a designated second vehicle
On how many previous years sales have you based the fact that your canned farts are worth $10 billion?

Sure, because there are apartment blocks anywhere that have trouble finding tenants?
You realize Golfs are ridiculously overpriced, right?
