Automobiles are rolling data centers since 1996 when OBDII required a lot of complex technology to limit air pollution emissions, unlike a small generator or lawn mower engine emits a bunch of chemical fumes with a very specific smell, since air cooled small piston engines with carburetors also tend to lack any form of emissions controls, since that would increase complexity, cost & size & weight.
In effect, this combination of technologies to reduce vehicle emissions contributes thousands of dollars of applied technologies to every vehicle featuring advanced emission reducing methods, and VW cheated on TDI NOx testing because their head of R&D said roughly, it will cost VW about $16 thousand dollars in additional emissions controls to make TDI models comply with Euro 6 regulations, so paying their software engineers to develop a cheat program installed on the ECM or ECU, was vastly more profitable in the short run, but ended up being a VW Diesel Gate Emission Scandal that cost a lot more in lost profits long term.
An almost perfect example of how government regulations aimed at reducing pollution emissions end up having strange effects on companies required to comply with such regulations, & profit seeking extreme ideology of business executives which tend to be sociopaths, placing profits about people & nature, or idolatry of money above God or any other important issues, then claim accurately they have a legal obligation or fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to maximize quarterly profits as justification for making cringy sick immoral unethical choices, like when Merck the global giant pharma company knew 5 years before selling any, that VIOXX caused heart valve erosion disease death pathology, noted in executive emails 5 years before they commercialized and sold billions of dollars' worth of VIOXX which worked fantastically better than Ibuprofen as NSAID or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
In so many examples of global tire manufactures, PFAS companies, ag chemical companies, industrial manufacturing, mining, oil exploration, even on personal levels with choices to drive drunk, people making selfish choices end up causing great harm to nature & other people. My late adoptive father Ken warned me many years ago, do not ever date or marry anyone from this glib overpriced suburb where you grew up, Bellevue, Washington State, USA, as these conniving, uptight, materialistic, hyper selfish, high maintenance girls you went to school with expect a free ride on an upper middle class income, then 10 years after you have kids with them & buy a house, they will divorce you and take your house & kids then charge you thousands per month to see you kids for 4 days per month, & you will be taken to the cleaners in court & the judge will side with her, not you.
I then saw this happen to my peers, so many of my friends from school grew up, married local girls they went to school with, then a few years after the kids were in middle school, divorce, the woman takes 80% of the money, takes the house, takes the kids, the man left not only as a 3rd wheel invisible & forgotten about during the marriage, but then basically stripped of all the money he earned working, some of these friends ended up committing suicide over it, cringy and sick but those gold diggers ruined their lives, and now kids without a dad, not good for them either.
From crooked politicians, to crooked executives, or crooked gold diggers, at every level of society we see narcissistic self-idolatry the root cause of horrendous evil choices made by sickos that end up hurting, harming & killing other people with preventable diseases, from exposure to toxic drugs released legally and sold widely, 85,000 people died from taking VIOXX, to emissions scandals or oil leaks or PFAS into rivers, its smog breathing in traffic not just tailpipe fumes but tire tread erosion microplastics, brake dust, leaking engine oil & coolant, a panoply of chemical pollutants mixes of all kinds, and we wonder why cancer or cancers are more common, consider the cancer causing chemicals added to food to boost shelf life, color hue or flavor intensity also.
What happened to basic human decency, being polite or reasonable or fair? Where did all the real men go in America? How can there be so many cringy sickos, serial killers, whacked out immoral politicians, well those are all products of a society, and in America since the 1960's counter coulter, we have Do What Thou Wilt a satanic ideology embraced widely with rampant materialism epitomized by the expression The American Dream.
6 kilowatts continual individual energy consumption of an American in America where nearly 400 million gallons of gasoline consumed daily, phew, that is a lot of air pollution right there. Noting also in most cities or suburbs of America the gasoline fueled car, HEV, PHEV, BEV are the only practical way of getting around. I believe these sprawling fractal roadway systems strewn across American landscapes will become food deserts in the future when gasoline sells for $25 twenty-five dollars per gallon.
Crude oil, petrochemicals, explosives, alcohol, drugs, music, makeup, consumer materialism, leisure lifestyle sitting diseases deadly pathology of sitting too much or being sedentary, say METABOLIC SYNDROM DISEASES & DISORDERS that plague people all around the world now, who in many nations have adopted Western Dietary Disease Causing Soda Pop & Sugary Junk Food, none-more prolific than Coca-Cola sweetened with GMO industrial High Fructose Corn Syrup, a liver toxic almost entirely responsible for NAFLD non-alcoholic fatty liver disorder, or Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stokes, clots, embolisms, heart disease, so many cancers made worse by persistently elevated blood sugar levels, neuropathy, blindness, limb amputations from unhealing foot ulcers from foot injuries because the person with out of control Type 2 diabetes can't feel the injury & their vision so bad they can't see the puss or blood on their socks either, incredibly, until their leg gangrene & has to be sawed off by a surgeon in what we call limb amputation, but uncontrolled type 2 diabetes also the leading cause of blindness by damaging the retina of the eye with high blood sugar levels.
