dumb question, why do cars have wifi access points?
dumb question, why do cars have wifi access points?
Notice when cars go by I see "Tina's Tahoe" or "mychevrolet". Why do cars have wifi access points? Can mechanics connect and see issues? Is it connected to the internet via GSM so users can use the internet in cars? |

Yes, most modern cars today have a built in mobile connection. This is mostly used to update the software in the car and the maps but also gives the option to setup your own hotspot, I imagine the thinking is to entertain the kids with potentially ipads without own mobile connection.

Probably has to do with software like Adraco said, but let's say you're an idiot and believe in conspiracies, then it's a WOKE tool to control the libs to make them eat soy while wearing adult diapers.

I hate the idea that my steering wheel isn't directly connected to the steering rack, and yeah, I know, airplanes are all fly-by-wire these days but they still have mechanical backups if needed...

I have a hotspot in our malibu.
We have cheap phone plans so my wife only has 3gb of 5g data and I have 5gb of 5g data. On trips, everybody in the car can hook to the hotspot. Kids can play games or listen to spotify or whatever apps they want to use. I switch between my sirius and amazon music and spotify. Also run google maps with android auto through the hotspot. Onstar also uses the hotspot for some things. |

Onstar sends me a monthly email on the condition of my car.
From tire pressure to remaining oil life to average speed driven. It even knows my exact millage on the vehicle. I'm like WTF did I buy? A spy machine? I can cancel at any time it says; but I bet it keeps tracking after I cancel. I even get a Carvana report of what I can sell the car for. They charge me $40 a month for it too. I just agreed to everything when I bought the car so that was added on. I pay $480 a year to be followed, and they can kill my car engine if I report is stolen. I'm undecided if this is good or bad.
