That's actually from 1970 - John Brunner's The Sheep Look Up. It's a sobering look at where the world and the US could be some tens of years hence if we're not careful. It's been a while since I read it, but I thought it was interesting that very early in the book the main protagonist talks about his English-made EV. IIRC he suggests that EVs are looked down on by certain other kinds of people (I don't need to name names here). Brunner knew whereof he wrote. I know that some folks are OK with this, but I'd also agree with you that I don't want anybody looking over my shoulder as I drive, EV or ICEV, unless he or she is sitting in the back seat by invitation. IIRC the low-end Leaf omits the cellular link - am I right about that? This might be a good thing if you value your privacy.
