    After reading the article and the website, I can’t find anything that explicitly says there is no network connection built into the vehicle.

    The instrument panel is a screen, and will be used to display the backup camera video. There is some computer capable of handling video processing and displaying the instrument graphics - so more than just low-level electronics to handle the battery and drive control. It could have built-in GPS, it could have 5G, it could still be collecting and sharing data on driving habits &etc, it could be subsidized by that on the backend. Just because those functions aren’t displayed to the end user doesn’t mean they aren’t in the system.

    There’s this quote attributed to Rabbi Yisrael Salanter:

    When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn’t change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn’t change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

    Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

    There are two lessons here. First - the best way to affect meaningful change is to start local. Rather than spending a lot of time agonizing over national politics, get involved in your community - your neighborhood, your town, your apartment building, even just the house you share with your family. Your community will take better care of you and the other people that you care about than any national government ever will.

    Second - ultimately the only person whose behavior you can change is your own. Don’t be too harsh with other people when they don’t behave the way that you believe they should. Be a more stringent judge of your own behavior.

    But temper that with this:

    Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much. Or berate yourself too much either.

    Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else’s.

    Baz Lurhmann

    The spear in the Other’s heart
    is the spear in your own:
    you are he.

    There is no other wisdom,
    and no other hope for us
    but that we grow wise.

    -attributed to Surak

    as written by Diane Duane in Spock’s World

    Empathy is not some mere emotion that you feel - a fleeting reaction to some external sensation. Empathy is an intentional shifting of perspective, where you experience another’s circumstances as if they were your own.

    This is a skill, meaning that it is something which you learn through practice, and that you do on purpose, until the doing of it becomes instinctive and no longer requires intent.

    To say “I do not feel empathy” is to give yourself an excuse not to practice. This is a cop-out, used by weak people. Do not wait to “feel” it before you practice. Always remember you do not practice only for the sake of other people, but for the sake of your own growth and edification.
