Sure, but once it becomes widespread it will no longer be possible to do so on newer models.

- LeoPanthera 3y agoI don't think this is true. In theory you could embed the cellular modem into the mainboard, or even into the processor, but I would bet for ease of service that the modem will always be on a separate board somewhere that can be cut off. They would never make the car reliant on cellular service or it would just stop working whenever you didn't have a signal - or the modem died.
- kelnos 3y agoHow would the manufacturer enforce this? The first time someone gets stranded somewhere because the cellular hardware died and the car refused to start... well, sounds like a huge lawsuit to me.
- JohnFen 3y agoThere will always be an antenna somewhere. Remove/destroy that, or put a faraday cage around it, and it doesn't matter what the manufacturer wants.
