How is the 3G sunset not solvable by just swapping out a modem module for an LTE or 5G one and maybe installing some new modem firmware? A lot of cars are running a Linux kernel under the hood, so I'd think it's pretty well swap and go
I think the question is not if it's solvable, but 'who pays for it?' and 'who can be held accountable if things go awry?'
The company that didn't see the 3G sunset coming, I would think. I know auto moves slow, but damn...4G was out for what, 4-5 years before development likely started on the 2019 model year?
I'd think so too, but (I assume) you and I don't have a small army of lawyers and lobbyists on retainer.
