Mazda is philosophically opposed to turning the car into a computer with wheels, but don't misunderstand that for not being high tech. Mazda has some of the most sophisticated and capable vehicle management software with the beefy hardware needed to run it under the hood in the industry. They collect significantly more environmental/operational data than other manufactures because they need it for their engine and stability systems to run well. With their move upmarket, they tend to be better equipped and come standard with a lot more remote connectivity features as well; they practically know where every vehicle is and what it's doing in near real time, even if you don't pay for the subscription for them to tell you.
