It's fine for those functions to be a casualty of the owners choice to turn off the network, just like with a phone. If automakers want to use a cellular connection in your car for non-critical functions, it should come with a legitimate user-uncontrollable off switch, just like airplane mode on a phone.
- brewdad 3y agoRight. We're trying to stop the world of heated seat subscriptions with a remote license verification at startup before it gets a foothold.
- Arainach 3y agoRight - but as the parent said, the proposed language of "all car features must keep working" isn't compatible with that. Defining a law that allows those features to be turned off and yet disallows "data is broken, heated seats are disabled" is very difficult. After all, heated seats aren't an essential safety feature.
