And here is another thought for you. We all know what happened when the UK government had to bow the knee to Apple and Google with the design of the Virus App. The tec companies were more powerful than HNG.
Just suppose that thanks to Brexit there is a row with Germany and the German government tells VW, Merc and BMW to disable all vehicles in the UK. Economic chaos!. Maybe not something to be taken as a serious prospect at the moment but in future?
