Renault ships a brickable car...

Nothing new yet.

...with battery DRM that you're not allowed to own

Ah, news! On the upside, this car is somewhat theft-proof. (Nothing can be totally theft proof.) Next, it should have a 360-degree dash cam that's monitored 24-7 by an organization funded by a consortium of insurance companies and 3 letter government agencies. All the above sounds scary while bringing benefits. (The scary that brings benefits with it is the truly scary stuff, as it has a good chance of sticking around.)
