If I can watch videos or sleep behind the wheel, 8.5 sounds reasonable to me.

  How about to use the internet? Or to use the smartphone you already paid for? Attempts at renting your own hardware back to you should be rejected on sight.

    I would compare it with the apps on my iPhone like Netflix.

      Netflix isn't on your phone. The app is a portal to their servers & content. If all of the hardware & software is already in the car, which you bought, then they are renting your car back to you. There is no marginal increase increase in their own costs. You already "own" everything needed to make it work. This is more like having an iPhone with a bunch of videos you already purchased downloaded on to it and then having to pay a fee to watch them.

        > If all of the hardware & software is already in the car, which you bought, then they are renting your car back to you. The hardware will be, buy the software will probably need constant improvements and updates. It's more like having purchased an iPhone and having to pay a subscription to have access to real time map data.

    They're going to charge you for connectivity as well.
