  GM did not admit to or deny the allegations. So in other words, they did it. Otherwise, they would never have reached this "settlement". And in 5 years, they'll be doing it again. I smell a business opportunity for some mechanic who can offer to disconnect the wireless antenna in these cars.

    > I smell a business opportunity for some mechanic who can offer to disconnect the wireless antenna in these cars. My guess is that in the future you will not even be able to start your car unless it can connect to GM servers. All in the name of security (you know car theft, safety etc.)

      They would love it if this was possible. But it's not. There are too many situations where wireless fails --- underground parking, metal building, up in the mountains, out in the desert --- no bars. And 5G is worse, not better. A family member installed reflective insulation in their attic. It acts like a Faraday cage for the whole house --- including the garage.
