Recalls that can be fixed with over the air updates is a large financial reason to connect cars to the internet.

Personally, I’d rather connect to my WiFi where I have control, but that’s a lot to ask for regular consumers.

My Kia Niro is connected to the internet yet I can't OTA apply anything. Updates to the navigation data (~80GB) have to be done via USB and recall related updates have to get applied by the manufacturer. So I get 100% of the attack surface and ~0% of the convenience.

Oh god, that’s terrible!

I wonder how many years that will take. Five years?
