> Imagine a car manufacturer (say Tesla, who has an edge over others much like Apple) could decide where you can go and who your passengers could be?

I assume it is legally possibly to sell a car under those conditions, so I don’t even have to imagine. Nobody does it because it would be unpopular and serve no benefit to anyone, not because it’s illegal.



If the first manufacturer to offer decent cars did that and captured the market, it's quite possible that many would put up with it, just as they put up with iphones today.

Oh, and pay a 30% tax on all petrol purchases straight to Mr Ford, how's that?


If after 15 years people were still buying the car despite alternatives, maybe you need to accept that is what people want?
