You have the choice of not buying a car with that type of subscription features for quite some time yet, factoring in base models, non-premium brands, the used market and so on.

Like with a lot of features, this will be introduced on so-called premium brands first. Unless you insist on having one of those (which you would probably lease anyway), you can easily avoid dodgy subscription features.

Luckily there is still some competition in the automotive industry.

Software-wise, we already lost to monopolies of FAANG. The privileged few use Open Source and distributed sharing platforms, but the general public has little choice but pay recurrent and ever increasing fees.

What fees do faang companies charge on an ongoing basis that can be avoided only using OSS, in a legal manner?
