The following report is by ZeroHedge:
Statista’s Katharina Buchholz reports that, according to the Statista Mobility Market Insights, “regular” cars made up a minority of only 19 percent of newly registered cars around the globe in 2020.
The transition to autonomous-ready cars has been a quick one: In 2015, cars without assistance systems were still in the majority at 45 percent of all newly registered ones.
There are six different automation levels for passenger cars in the classification SAE J3016 by standards developer SAE International, four of which are included in the chart. Autonomous driving ability is displayed as levels 0 to 5. In levels 1 and 2, the autonomous driving functions assist the drivers (so-called assisted mode). Automated driving provisions of of level 3 are now entering regular production, while level 4 is expected by 2025.
Level 3 is the lowest level of this automated mode. Vehicles whose systems meet level 3 requirements can drive independently to some degree, with the driver taking over the wheel again upon request and with advance notice. From level 4, vehicles can drive independently without the driver having to take over. In levels 1 and 2, the driver can be assisted by the autonomous driving systems, yet he or she can not turn attention away from the road. In level 1, either braking or steering can be assisted. In level 2, a combination of both is possible, equipping the car lane centering and adaptive cruise control capabilities.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.
Proverbs 15:19
As the World Economic Forum has said, “You’ll Own Nothing and Be Happy;” and by going autonomous you do not truly own the car anymore. Already most modern cars are so advanced and have all these security features hardwired into them, it prevents most renters and owners from being able to actually fix and repair their own cars, but instead must see a certified dealer with the proper codes to access the hardware. It’s absurd.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

No way I’m driving an autonomous car, I’d rather drive a used but still good vehicle.
I last worked on Cadillacs in 2008-2009 at dealership and it was tough then as all systems were tied together with a PCM(powertrain control module) to handle all engine and trans with branch out modules for brakes and other systems; can’t image how much more of a cluster_____ it is now. They had “blackbox” recorders back then, that could be accessed to find out what car was doing at time of accident. It could tell if brake lights worked or not and so on and so on. I’ll bet today it can build a data base for years of driving and your style of driving; maniac or grandpa(me).
Ridiculous. My dad has a ’22 Ford 150, and trying to do a basic tire rotation is basically almost unapplicable because they are so many censors and gauges attached to the hub, that removing a tire could rip apart wiring, and then the computer would freak out and basically prevent the truck from being driven. So stupid.
You can rotate them, but the tire pressure sensor has to be reset and the light comes on and possibly dis-able anti-lock brakes, not sure but it’s been awhile since I worked on them and not sure if all cars still use OBDII platform of computer communication.
