Electric vehicles (EVs) represent more than just a shift in automotive technology; they are a cog in the expansive machinery of surveillance and regulation. As we embrace the convenience and environmental benefits of EVs, we inadvertently tether ourselves to a vast network of data collection and oversight. Each EV is equipped with sophisticated sensors and connectivity features that track not only the vehicle’s performance but also the driver’s habits and movements.
This constant monitoring feeds into a larger grid, often referred to as “Big Brother,” where personal freedoms are subtly exchanged for the promise of greater efficiency and safety. The telemetry data from EVs can be used to map out our daily routines, predict our future movements, and even control the flow of traffic by dictating charging times and available routes. While proponents argue that this leads to optimized energy consumption and reduced congestion, it also raises concerns about privacy and autonomy.
In this new era of transportation, our movements are no longer solely our own. They become part of a collective dataset, analyzed by algorithms and scrutinized by unseen entities. The EV, therefore, is not just a vehicle but a portal into a world where our comings and goings are part of a grander scheme of control, orchestrated by technology under the guise of progress.
