Smartphones require wireless network connectivity for basic functionality and there's no way around that. Cars do not, so they will never be the same as long as some consumers are willing to push for their own individual interests. At the end of the day, I can always physically remove all the radios from my vehicle, and enable simpler versions of desirable features with aftermarket mods. There will always be a way to turn a wheel by exploding some gasoline (or using a battery) without involving a cloud service or remote authentication, and every car has all the parts necessary to do that.
- porkbeer 3y agoI work on cars as a hobby. Many newer cars are so intergrated and removing the radio/cellular system would render the car inoperable. This is not hyperbole, I have tried doing exactly this on a few newer cars. I was able to make one work by spoofing the device on canbus(non trivial), but the other I was not. Most cars would require rewiring to use a stand-alone ecu at a minimum, and that will leave you without a working stock dashboard, and/or in some cases no lights at all, no locks, no windows.

- drdaeman 3y agoPlease consider publishing your research. No matter the model, I think a lot of people (myself included) would be interested in reading and learning more about how modern cars work.
