Having recently owned an Onstar equipped vehicle I had my ire raised early in the year when they revamped their terms of service and such. They were basically telling their customers how they would expand usage of their driving habits and more and then charge us even more for the privilege. Just look at their plans, https://www.onstar.com/us/en/plans-pricing/compare-plans/ https://www.onstar.com/us/en/plans-pricing/compare-plans/ Starting at $25 a month just for crash reporting and stolen vehicle assistance. I am of the opinion that if ANY manufacturer can detect a crash that they legally be required to render assistance. This assistance can simply be calling local authorities and up to informing the occupants through the in car system that that has occurred. Even if you don't pay they know it happened. Onstar isn't the only plan but it certainly is the most expensive I have encountered. Then again BMW will charge you not only for map updates but to use Apple's Carplay. Manufacturers have realized that if people buy cars and keep them longer then they need to find means to turn that into a continuous stream of income and too many are willing to exploit the safety side to do it.
