But if the phone network decides to change how connections are made you decide not to update your phone, it won't work. 1G is deprecated. 2G has 11 years left in it in the UK. If you don't get your car serviced; it will cease to work and servicing will require updates. In most modern cars you are beholden to specialist knowledge to do that. I agree with your trust issue but I think we already trust technology companies for many parts of our lives.
