You’re lucky if it lets you start the car.

The next thing will be: I can’t toggle my AC because AWS is down.

Are you? I think I would rather a car that doesn’t start than a car that doesn’t have breaks

Or perhaps, I can’t toggle my AC because I forgot to pay my subscription fee.

You joke, but I literally came across this. I HATE that I had to connect my window unit to the net, but we have a lot of brownouts in the area, and it allows me to restart the AC if I’m away, or else my pups would cook during the summer if it didn’t turn on. The AWS outage hit, and I couldn’t log in to the app that controls it to turn it on. Luckily, it’s not peak summer and it didn’t get too warm by the time I got home.

If the brownouts don’t last long, you could maybe solve this issue with a moderately priced UPS to keep the AC unit from powering off during the brief moments when power goes out.

I’d have to spend more on the ups than the ac unit. Sometimes it’s brown outs, sometimes full blackouts. As much as I hate connecting it to the web, it’s free vs at least a couple hundred for a high enough wattage ups to run more than a minute.

Instructions unclear: AWS is doing fine, but my AC won’t shut off until I renew my BMW+ subscription.

You are joking, but I’m pretty sure a few cars could not start or got bricked because AWS went down.

Luckily for me, I don’t even know what ‘AWS’ means.

Amazon Web Services, are huge data centers that many companies rent to run their services.
The other day one of those AWS data center had issues and many services didn’t work, also because of this many heated beds stopped working properly and over-heated.

Plus the Ring doorbell, plus probably lots of people got locked out because of smart locks.
It’s sad to see how easily people are fooled to depend on huge greedy corporations.
To me it seems insanse that a server crashes somewhere and the door lock or door bell doesn’t work.

your seats overheat and get stuck in the most forward position
