That is likely the real reason for the 4G modem installed in the car and the rest is just PR spin to encourage people to buy the always-connected vehicles. I fully expect this "free feature" to be paid for by these cars recording which parking lots you visit for Big Box store analytics as well as LEO per-request-fees. They probably have some navigation stuff, radio, etc. built into the car that would use it as well for the dashboard. The $20 a month, I suspect, covers Chevrolet's network costs so they can be paid on both ends.
