      What, don’t you enjoy the incredible feature of your car being a rolling computer that constantly gets over the air software updates? Don’t you want to experience the joy of being stuck waiting for a forced Windows update, but instead of your computer it’s your car? Why would anybody not want this incredible and so clearly beneficial experience?!?
