Surprised how much hate there is here for this technology from people who never tried it. I've had one for a year. It is game-changing. You can drive what you like - it supports many different cars.. I can road trip for hours on autopi

If a hacker can steal your user database they as-likely-as-not have access to your reversible encryption keys. On top of that it's bad form to mail a user their plaintext password back to them.. I don't need my password crossing third-party
