@sir_rob@noauthority.social It’s simple in the early models, where telematics were an add-on module. In the newer cars, it’s simply a software package that’s baked into the vehicle’s system software and gets regular forced signed updates OTA like everything else. If you want to remove it now, you have to jailbreak your vehicle and hope that doing so doesn’t disable the drivetrain out of spite. This is also how the driver monitoring will be delivered, where the company will have an AI that decides when you get in whether you’re allowed to use the device that you paid $100 grand to license.
