Slate Auto, based in Warsaw, Indiana, is developing a unique electric pickup truck with a minimalist design consisting of only 600 parts. The vehicle features two seats and manually operated windows, lacking a traditional infotainment system. Slate aims to appeal to consumers interested in privacy by not including an embedded modem, which means no remote access to the vehicle. The company states that while it may collect data through its smartphone app to enhance customer experience, it will not sell that data. According to a report from SAE International, Slate emphasizes that privacy is a core aspect of its product experience.
