I drive a 1996 Civic and feel about the same way.  I&#x27;ll get a new car eventually (and getting an electric does sound awfully appealing, once they start selling models with good range for a reasonable price), but a lot of modern &quot;features&quot; like over-the-air updates seem awfully big-brotherish to me.<p>One of the things I like about my current car is that it can&#x27;t be remotely bricked by the manufacturer, it doesn&#x27;t have any built-in location tracking hardware, there&#x27;s no way to wirelessly access any of the critical electronic components, and no need to apply security patches.<p>It&#x27;s hard to think of modern cars as anything other than a rolling malware vector.  Some of these cars will be on the road for thirty or forty years.  What happens when the manufacturer stops patching their bugs after three or ten or twenty years?
