This is hilarious. Did one of them go up in a puff of smoke around 1/2 way in? 😂

To sum up: “We don’t actually know the length of most driver contracts”

And now I have Bobbing Along stuck in my head before I even clicked the video to relive my youth. And I thank you for it! Such an old skool classic film, maybe I need to add it into my yearly rewatch list. “Bobbing along, singing a song…”

Aren’t there multiple films that start with this as the end of the world as we know it…

You bought the car for how ever many tens of thousands, which should be priced in with this sort of thing in mind if they want to offer it as a feature in the first place.

The cost to run the api service is minuscule compared to the size of their overall business.

Maybe I could see it as a valid upsell at time of purchase as a one off upfront fee, so it’s at least up to the buyer from the start. Although I personally do not like that approach, at least you can decide if you like that companies ethics before committing to them with that approach.

Perhaps resale of the vehicle complicates this a little, & might warrant a small transfer fee, but I also dislike that idea.

There’s plenty of options for more local communication technologies that could support this feature without the need of a remote server & ongoing service. But then there’s no lock in & ongoing revenue which nearly all car companies seem to be going for these days, as if they haven’t already been super profitable for many decades before…
