I always really liked this approach: Instead of every car smart by replacing them, make dumb cars (a bit) smarter with a connected device. Even once pitched a competitor to this service.
That said, I'm wondering what the impact of Covid was on this: A regular SAAS service shouldn't see a huge impact, or would all customers cancel when not using their car for a month?

You might argue that a lot of people are going to be without work and won't be buying new cars in the next while, however, were those their customers in the first place?

Not speculating on whether this is one of those, but I'll admit I wouldn't be astonished if it were.
