I think it's fair if Mazda has to operate a server to enable it, but I think Mazda should have to pay car owners to allow them to connect the car to a mobile network, especially for operating their spyware/telemetry.
Well it's double shit if you can't get the remote start on a FOB now. Fuck Mazda for that bullshit.
No. Either you support it for a predetermined few decades as part of the vheicle cost, or let the consumer switch to a different service.
Option 3 take the stop killing games approach and grant the user the server back end when they stop supporting it themselves so users can host it themselves
That too
As long as they give me a way to run my own server for free, I agree with you.
OK, they can add $1 to the price of the car for a lifetime subscription (and no the load probably will never add up to that).
You still have to pay for the cell service to connect the car. That's going to cost a whole lot more than $1
A car is is multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars and a 3g, low data IoT sim card is less than $100.
Fucking what?
This is the equivalent of "I mean, it's one banana, Michael. What could it cost? 10 dollars?"
Most of us aren't buying lambos.
