Also a bike will always work, a car needs gas and maintenance centers. It literally ties you into a monopolized commodity market.

And you can get pretty good at completely disassembling and reassembling a bike in a matter of months. Good luck doing that with a car. Short of learning to do metallurgy to create my own new parts, there’s no part of a bike that I can’t replace. A car computer is another story.

The UK has tons of CCTV cameras everywhere, not even for just traffic. You’re just literally always monitored.

One thing i recently learned is that a lot of cars also have a data-recorder that saves info about the cats speed, braking, g-forces, etc in the event of an accident and the police can use that data to prosecute the driver.

Not necessarily against that feature, but if we are on the topic of tracking…

The Tire Pressure Monitors on your wheels constantly send individually identifiable radio transmissions. These aren’t in any kind of central registry, but you can walk by someone’s car, read the TPMs, then set up monitoring stations to read TPMs and find out where a car goes.

I always wondered how they wired sensors into tires. Guess I’m not surprised that the answer is they didn’t.
