    Most manufacturers are doing this.

    Most people don’t seem to care since they understand there are ongoing server and infrastructure costs.

        How else would they know that you’ve paid for it?

      Not downvoting you, but what on earth would need a SQL server to use suspension? It would be far too slow for real-time applications, and this isn’t a rolls royce engine on a jet generating 1tb of data a second when all sensors are active and logging.

      This is a mall-mobile that someone will probably total in a power center parking lot in Arizona.

      There is no justification for “server and infrastructure” for a fucking car. No part of a car should require a single penny of server costs over the entire lifespan.

        I don’t get what you mean.

        The app is intended to remote start your vehicle when you’re out of range of the key fob. I’m not sure how you’d propose that function works without servers and infrastructure.
