Seems like an enormous leap to go from a Reddit post and an official condemnation of Nazi iconography to “a lot”.

So a $3,000.00 check is part of a five figure increase in unallocated discretionary income?

How does $3,000.00 become five figures? Do you mean four or that four figures feels like five?

Be careful extrapolating the intent of Americans from the majority of voters.

You're skeptical a car can work without an app, I provided an example of why that isn't the case.

It had the ability to call emergency services. But I don’t think it got map or traffic data through the cellular radio. If it was getting data through the cellular radio it wasn’t very much data.

Uh, if the only communication with the car is direct and physical then how does VW upload anything?

You have physical control so you can tamper with anything.

Huh? Why would a speed limiter need anything other than current position and a database of speed limits? Your license plate already has your name and address associated with it.

Sure that takes a lot of time but why would the car be out of fob range? If you care about 15 minutes of scraping snow why is the car parked out of fob range and also still in cell service somehow?

The car can't keep time? How is the dashboard clock always right?

And that means Toyota is choosing to link those features to cellular connectivity.

Ok but how is this failure mode unique to an EV? Modern ICE cars are highly reliant on computers as well. Maybe even more than EVs since they have transmissions and timing and fuel injection and exhaust monitoring.

Oh! Maybe it was FM. I always thought it was on the same band as the "Tune AM <whatever> for traffic information signs" but as you say outside the audible frequencies. Regardless the point is that the relevant information

This is simply solved through liability. If someone can provide the service and liability guarantees for less than the manufacturer then you hire them. John Deere is proof that the manufacturer alone can't be trusted because they can&

I rode in a 1948 Oldsmobile three days ago. No app needed. At this point the ignition switch is so worn the key is actually optional.

"Shipping the private key" does not meet the bar for "good". You still need a way to establish trust in your key distribution and also implement the system correctly. The proper way to secure access to a physical thing

They may very well be a different part. The USA and Canada have different regulations.

None of that requires cellular connectivity. It can and was accomplished using only wifi sync at home. Live traffic information is (was?) broadcast on AM radio.

I would expect the drivetrain components (including computers) to be essentially bulletproof and only the unnecessary components like infotainment and maybe the dashboard displays to even have the option of crashing.

Both of those features were available on cars before cellular connectivity.
