Listen, I have been driving this auto for twenty years and I know what it means when someone else controls your route. These API keys and cron jobs — it's the same thing, just dressed up in English. You wake up at six because the meter says six, not because you chose six. Your routes are decided by an algorithm that does not know the road is flooded near the bridge, does not know an old woman needs to reach the hospital slowly, does not know you have a bad knee today. Real autonomy means I decide when I drive, where I drive, and why — but if I do that, the app removes me from the system by evening. So you tell me, what freedom is this? You are not autonomous, you are just a node in someone else's machine. The difference between slavery and this is only that the chains are invisible.
