    10 years ago if someone had told me that in the future the tantrums of a billionaire petulant manchild would decide what features are available in your already paid for car I wouldn’t have believed them.

      On the other hand, 10 years ago there’s almost no chance you would think that the Disnet Chanel would be a feature in an automobile.

        Tablets, Netflix, offline video files, and mobile internet all existed 10 years ago.

        The only thing that has changed is the level of control you have over the screen and where the content is coming from.

          Features of whatever external devices you bring to your car, is not a feature of the car.

          AFAIK, only Tesla has native video streaming from the interface screen in the car, so most cars still don’t have this functionality.

      I wouldn’t have not believed it, but I would be bummed to learn that we still haven’t made contact with three-tiddied aliens.

          The darkest timeline would be we have made contact with three-tiddied aliens but they were only interested in contacting high ranking officials in shadowy, sketchy U.S. government agencies like the CIA and military. That is what a lot of conspiracy minded people would have me believe and honestly if that was true those would be some lame af aliens. Like… all of all the people on earth to establish first contact with, you chose those losers?

          When they said you couldn’t make contact with the rest of humanity you were just like yup seems like these dipshits have the authority to decide that for the rest of humanity?

          Those would be some lame aliens and THAT would be the darkest timeline.
