We will not give any break and reduction in pollution standards. If ICE can't meet it, it can die.
This approach is idiotic, considering that emission standards for passenger cars are well into diminishing returns and they are not even near top polluters. More so, additional emission control equipment on cars results in cars that have larger lifetime emissions due to added weight and additional manufacturing.
It is no big loss. Getting rid of diesel and gasoline vehicles will do wonders top world peace. We will stop pumping a trillion dollars to the middle east. Once the money is gone, they will calm down and sort it out in some fashion among themselves.
This is just magical thinking on your part. There is absolutely no reason to expect that middle east will become peaceful once petrodollars stop flowing.
More so, you are not thinking what it would take to switch to all-electric. We will need to completely rebuild power grid, we will have to drastically increase power generation capacity (probably natural gas or coal).
Traditional car manufacturing is also over-regulated. A car equivalent to original Beetle could be produced today for a fraction of what even cheapest used car costs and could easily deliver 40MPG and run for decades. Unfortunately, you have restrictive and illogical smog emissions (i.e. making all but impossible to have diesel car), very over-the-top safety requirements, and non-safety features (i.e. backup camera) mandated by the government.
Electric cars are that much better because they are not yet regulated in the same way as traditional cars are. There is simply no way for electric cars to compete with an unregulated ICE on cost. When entire ICE car could be manufactured for what a 10kWh battery costs, there is no comparison.
But what about performance? Likewise, today engine builders regularly get 1000HP out of junk yard engines. You can have reliable 1200HP out of forced induction engine with minimal internal mods (forged pistons, high-flow heads, special gaskets). This is generally faster than anything available today from electric cars. So why is this isn't done outside of motorsports? Emission and fuel economy regulations.
US for-profit health care directly responsible for this. If your main business function is insurance, then your main business driver is to minimize the risks and recover costs. Then it becomes logical to exploit personal information of your "customers" and violate their privacy to the maximum possible extend.
You can criticize them 'til you're blue in the face, they're fully resistant against reason and logic. It's like the religious right wing nutjobs found their pendant on the other side of the spectrum. Same rhetoric, different agenda.
I much prefer old times, where a ritual sacrifice or two and the issue was considered resolved and we all could go back to minding our business. Now even if you get sacrificed, they are not done with you.
...objective is to beat the other guy by any means available.
The problem modern political discourse is that both sides act out belief that they are oppressed side and are under attack, while in fact neither is. In turn, they justify their questionable behavior as self-defense or "they did it first".
How do you explain behavior of two groups of predominantly white, middle to upper class and educated, heterosexual people fighting each other over "oppression" of minorities? SJW are modern age puritans, this culture war isn't about LGBT or visible minority rights, rather these are co-opted. It is about undoing 60s sexual revolution and replacing Christianity with some alternative form of religious-like behavior.
I don't have FB and never signed up for it as I have clearly understood its business model. However, I can't force others into making good choices. Making shitty choices that have long-term consequences is a fundamental freedom in any civilized society.
People who signed up for WhatsApp prior to FB were told that their privacy would be respected. This promise was clearly broken, but unfortunately due to out last-century legal system such robbery is not illegal.
It is not illegal to collect and sell your personal metadata. Only PHI under HIPAA is somewhat protected, but this is limited to medical field.
#DeleteFacebook as all other SJW projects crashed and burned once SJWs realized that actual effort and not just empty outrage is required.
As to WhatsApp selling user privacy down the river, having large piles of money turned out to be more important that integrity. There is no redo for this decision and investment in Signal doesn't make up for it.
I hate it when they move trade secrets into a different isle and don't tell you where to find them. You would think they are trying to hide them. I then have to wander the entire store looking for where they moved them. Just last week they moved Qualcomm trade secrets from next to cat litter and detergent into next to frozen food section.
You just re-invented air gap. If owner has to perform action to manually activate WiFi, then it is effectively disconnected the rest of the time.
Another aspect you fail to consider - authentication. You have to spend a lot of effort on making sure you car connects to the right server, and not one in CIA headquarters.
We are now fighting next battle - lets not connect all that garbage to the Internet.
I don't know, if these 68,000 SUVs could have their firmware updated over the Internet.
The trick, as always, is to enable that functionality without simultaneously enabling the vehicles to be hacked by bad actors.
This can't be done. When you connect something to the Internet, the Internet gets to access it. Even if something is designed and coded perfectly, and it won't be, new types of attacks will come out that would still make attacking it possible.
Cars last decades, software security last months. You are just signing yourself up to get hacked and/or EOL.

The question should be is this is the end of leftism and identity politics no longer hold absolute power? I hope so.
We have the grid capacity to charge even if ALL the cars become electric tomorrow.

So lets compare apples to apples.
Is it really going to be any faster after inevitable microcode and OS patching to address gross security flaws?

That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat.
That's only because you've been programmed to find everything offensive.
You should check your homo sapien privilege and stop trying to homosplain.
You can pry my bots out of my cold dead hands. When you outlaw bots, only outlaws bot.
As a bot identifying as a person, I find this anti-bot discrimination and bigotry to be unacceptable.
people arguing over bullshit like master/slave/kill/die/etc and how it needs to be replaced.
I noted a number of processes got more diverse after kill was removed. Diversity is always good, right? So this is a good change, right?
They are clearly on the autism spectrum and don't understand nuances... I've met some of these people in real life and they are frightening.
So we better ban them wholesale, so we can build more inclusive space, right?

Sirius has issue offering value - they have very expensive satellite radio with only a dozen or so channels. For that they try to charge $15/mo.
Cars haven't been mostly analog at least since late 80s. So that ship has long since left the port.
We are now fighting next battle - lets not connect all that garbage to the Internet. Your car doesn't belong on IoT junk pile.
