Anyone that buys a car that has shit like this is a fool.
True, however we must fight this because otherwise, when you need to buy a car, there won't be an option without a shitty subscription attached
Remember that some of is live in shitty cities with bad or no alternative ways of moving around
I agree totally, but I don't think it will matter with new vehicles. They're going to track you and spay on you more than your phone. I will forever drive old stuff. I'm a mechanic so that's a super easy option for me. I won't own anything new enough to spy on me, my car will be MY car.
100%, I am not a mechanic but I like auto work and have learned most of the basics. It is not really enough to own an older car forever but it should help out to some extent.
If you ever think you're in over your head, just remember, It's just nuts and bolts.
The article implies nobody even knew it already had this functionality. I'm sure the customers weren't told either.
I've heard for years that BMW was doing shit like this. Heated seats is what it started with. Toyota did it with remote start but I think they backed down after the outrage.
