What about insurance pricing your car based on the security features it has (i.e. auto call on crash?).
My car, a 2025, was significantly cheaper to insure in terms of liability than my 2019, even though it was 3x (not inflation adjusted) the price, because my current one is full of sensors and advanced evasion, auto-braking etc.
Is it weird to think that the SoS functionality is ALSO priced in? And removal thereof could be problematic?
Kinda like when people don't replace their TPMS sensors. What is insurance gonna say after you had a blow-out, and injured another person because of a flat. The TPMS sensor would've warned you before, and the incident could've been prevented...
Now, apart from all of that, I'm very happy that I can disable all of the data that gets send to the cloud with the press of a button. Good old German privacy laws.
