Car: Facial recognition failed. Car is now disabled. Contact your car dealer to reenable vehicle.

The last one sounds eerily similar to what a for-profit company would do in case of a terminated subscription, that would be perfectly fine in the US, but would get purged by fire in the EU by proper laws that meant to protect the public.
