Comment on Is it possible to have privacy in a modern car?

It would have to, or else the car would just break during an internet outage, or if it is out of range of mobile service (like if it is in a carpark), and that would be a disaster. Imagine not being able to use a carpark because your car will refuse to start if it doesn’t have an internet signal.
