    Ironically, my cars don’t run Linux for the same reason my computers do: I’m militant about protecting my property rights and privacy, so I refuse to have any car new enough to have “infotainment” because it’s all closed-source and Tivoized. It’s effectively hostile, despite the Linux kernel at the bottom of it.

    I’ll buy a car made after the mid-2000s when I can re-flash the whole thing with non-DRM’d community-supported software, and not a minute before.

    It also has serious downsides in terms of:

    1. Lack of basement or crawlspace living/storage space
    2. Difficult to modify plumbing & electrical
    3. Have to run HVAC through the attic
    4. Low finished floor height off the ground (bad for drainage)
