Software updates and data collection. Eg, my mums Toyota Corolla 2018 already has a disabled infotainment button because of dropped support. If it was a 2019 it would have been eligible for an update, but not for 2018.
Lots of cars from the same period are collecting and sharing data to various different companies from weather to insurance.
Personally I don’t want monitoring or software updates, and definitely don’t want any cloud dependencies.
- calvinmorrison 1y agoLots of cars from the 90s and 2000s have obsolete tech that doesn't work like certain vintages of car phones
- burnt_toast 1y agoCar phones weren't common place and were typically only available in some higher end luxury cars. I wouldn't exactly call that lots of cars.
- bluGill 1y agoA minority of cars yes, but so many cars - even luxury cars were made that it still amounts to a lot of cars.
