Why the fuck do cars need to be connected to the Internet all the time? I fear the day when all cars will be subject to stupid shit like this
Because people want cars with maps and traffic data? Is that really such a god awful thing to want in your car?
....man if only there was something in my pocket that has an infotainment app that auto makers can add to their cars that provided that functionality without the automakers needing to add much.
If only right?
That just shifts the privacy problems from the automaker to the smartphone OS maker.
I use GrapheneOS which only within the last year got Android Auto support, and even then it requires giving Google shit a lot of deep access to stuff I really don't want to give.
Carplay and Android Auto should not be the only options (like when the car native nav is requires for stuff like battery preconditioning)
