Oh! Eck, Hundreds of “connected” Porsche cars have been bricked due to satellite connected cars stopping working, It’s only happened within Russian so maybe it’s the car’s version of falling out of a window after Germany upset Putin.
“Hundreds of Porsche’s across Russia were completely bricked recently due to a mysterious satellite security system malfunction. The exact cause of the problem is still being investigated, and while there is no evidence that it was a deliberate attack, some say it’s a possibility.”
The first sentence kinda says it all…
‘‘Unnecessarily tech filled’’ …
Or ‘‘Tech for Tech’s sake’’ in other words.
I’m all for progress but in that context, (and especially on trucks) I personally absolutely 'kin hate it. …
(Before anybody jumps in, no that does not mean I want to go back to Sed Atks and Ford Cortinas. )
It looks like the advocators of this type of crap have had it come back and bite them on their arses in this particular case…good enough for em.
