> No, wait...I know the answer to this one because our Nissan Leaf quit getting updates when the 3G was shut off, and I've not taken it back to the dealer in several years. And the answer is...nothing happens.
With your specific example, nothing happened, which is the best case scenario, yes?
The problem is the potential for inconvenience and disaster is there. I do not look forward to the day when my auto manufacturer forgets to renew a domain name and all of a sudden every single car by that maker cannot start its engine because it can't connect to HQ.
It's a contrived example, sure, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
- smsm42 5y agoIt's not as contrived as you think. Some Tesla owners couldn't get into their car on the latest AWS outage because the app to unlock it stopped working and they didn't think to bring the keys, because the app always works. How long before Tesla or somebody else gets a genius idea that since nobody carries around keys anyway, why make them at all?
