Agreed, subscriptions only make sense when there is an on-going service, like on-star (no idea if it is worth anything).
So if the digital assistant and driver assistance programs where getting service updates, then this would make sense. However, I'd say that driver assistance really shouldn't need a lot of updates if it was truly ready for the road.
Exactly, unless it needs the company to have server space or an internet connection then it's not even close to something that should have a subscription.
