We should absolutely be more worried about digital rights and freedoms, because freedoms with your car are already pretty well secured. You can loan it to a friend, you can sell it, you're allowed to take it apart and mess with it on your own property, you can publish manuals on how to take it apart and mess with it without fear of legal action, the manufacturers aren't going to add a camera to watch your every move, etc. And there's no equivalent of manufacturers selling a car such that it is impossible for you to swap out parts unless Microsoft has signed them. In this increasingly digital world, many people are going to be totally beholden to Microsoft, Apple, et al in terms of what software they are allowed to install on their devices. In certain cases they are already constrained by the ideology of one provider. This should frighten you. And it's even more frightening that we can already legally prevent people from altering the software on their own device to make it behave as they wish. In sum, your car is never going to refuse to take you to an adult bookstore, that's why it is different.
