What? The car of course had an on board computer, as most modern cars do. I do not understand where your sarcastic tone is coming from.

- spuz 7y agoThe point is, how does the car know to connect to your wifi hotspot when it's normally configured to use a 3g/4g connection? I have never used a smart car so it sounds like a reasonable question to ask.
- montenegrohugo 7y agoActually you're right. It's been a while (almost ~2years) so I didn't fully remember. The car did NOT connect to the phone Hotspot, iirc, and that was one of the things that irked me. If a phone can connect to both wifi and 3G/LTE/whatever, why shouldn't a 50.000$ car? Especially if that car necessitates being online for its function.
- moooo99 7y agoBecause your phone is designed to do that, a car is not. Besides, iirc the most car services don't even use the car hardware itself to enable their service. They usually install secondary systems for communication with their servers somewhere inside the car and then communicate with the cars controllers. So its not even a matter of how expensive the car is, its a matter of how well designed the rental companies hardware is.
