I’ll never buy a vehicle that requires cloud connectivity for anything. Not a problem!

Well, most cars don’t REQUIRE it, but most cars lose features if it doesn’t have network connectivity.

Good luck finding a car made after 2020 that doesn’t have at least one or two features that require the Internet to function.

I’ve never seen a car like this. Mine was made in 2021 though so I must have caught the last ship car out lol. What kind of things do cars even use the internet for? I’m struggling to imagine it

GPS, telematics(the driving data your car collects and sends back to the automotive company who built it), over the air updates, some SOS style features like OnStar, maybe satellite radio.

Edit: Maybe apps, and stuff like updates to the onboard owners manual (because some cars don’t come with a paper one anymore). Oh. And using your phone as a key.
