I see a lot of people complaining about why this is pointless but the much more worrying thing for me is what happens when you suddenly "subscribe" to your car and if you haven't made you GM payment well then sorry you won't be driving anywhere until you pay plus a $20 late fee plus a $30 accelerated processing thing.

Beyond even that lets imagine a CCTV catches a crime runs an ML scan of all the people in the city it hits your face with a 83% match, better then any one else. Boom the Department of Automated Crime Prevention uses the government mandated kill switch that is required to be available in every vehicle. When you finally find out why your car doesn't work you find out you can't get it reactivated until the following Monday because it is 5:45 on a Friday afternoon and the government offices are now closed.
