This may have been true in the past, but when consoles require an internet connection to function, it's a small step to turning it into a dead, black box.

You don't have to, but once vehicles work in a swarm and do not function stand-alone, you lose the benefits of pretend ownership. I suggested leasing a vehicle and thereby making it clear that you don't own it.
