I’ll never buy a vehicle that requires cloud connectivity for anything. Not a problem!
Replying to @PattyMcB@lemmy.world
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
Replying to @Zarobi@aussie.zone
Remote start, lock/unlock doors, HVAC, windows, and alarm for basics.

That doesn’t need the internet though right? Like a button on your key fob would achieve the same effect?
Replying to @Zarobi@aussie.zone
It’s done with your phone without line of sight or proximity of your car. The cars with built in security cameras, you can also remote view as well. I don’t know of any fob with a TV screen on it.
