I work at a body shop and they are making it increasingly more difficult to deal with computer shit. We have the normal equipment, which is expensive as hell, but now we have to take Cadillacs and BMWs to the nearest dealer because the normal equipment doesn't work anymore. Insurance and car companies are racking the fuck up on that scam.
Go to retirement neighborhoods, and offer cash for decent old cars that barely get driven. Skip repairs and maintenance (besides the basics) and save enough money to buy another one to do it again.
What happens if you're in an emergency? - being chased by kidnappers, car jackers, criminals, deranged ex-partner, have a non-responsive adult or child in the car on the way to an ER - or all those disaster clips of people outrunning wild fires and tsunamis?/
I moved, and it's worked out great for the past 44 years or so. Population increase mandates may ruin this place, but haven't yet discovered a viable alternative.
All you need to know from an article linked: The BEAM Act (named after the four who died in the crash in Renton) requires ISA devices as a condition for restricted or occupational driver’s licenses following license suspensions tied to reckless driving or repeat speeding violations.

HB 1596 aims to hold the most dangerous drivers accountable by requiring the use of intelligent speed assistance (ISA) devices for individuals whose licenses have been suspended due to reckless or excessive speeding

The state is full of dumb democretins that don't follow road rules. It's a law by stupid people for stupid people.
That's what you get when you live in a majority democrat state. You get treated like the status quo (idiots).

The bill proposes that the two things combine, into a forced limiter.
So it sounds like it's time to get an old, retarded car that doesn't have any electronics. Why not a Model T?

If I take this new vehicle offroad, will it be bricked? Can I drive 120mph into someone's house intentionally, as long as I am not on a street?
