A pirated car would just be a more free way to access the $10k/yr pay wall you live your life behind. Car-dominant infrastructure is vendor lock in.

Edit: fixed picture

    Don’t worry there will be some vulnerability with the CPU that they wouldn’t be able to patch out fully.

      you’re paying for a backend service and a constant internet connection for your car here though, not for some client side feature that can be easily unlocked

          1. they’re not using a conventional network
          2. they still have to pay for the backend infrastructure
          3. my point is that this is not a client side feature, so it can’t be unlocked by some cpu vulnerability. This is a case in which a subscription service DOES make sense

            1. Who asked them to do that?
            2. Who asked them to be the sole provider of that infrastructure? give me the server exec to host locally
            3. They designed it that way to justify this shit. I hope they all get fucked.

      In the end we are in cat & mouse situation
      Vulnerability found > hacker cracked it > car company figure it out > vulnerability get patched
