I've never seen a car like this. Mine was made in 2021 though so I must have caught the last ~~ship~~ car out lol. What kind of things do cars even use the internet for? I'm struggling to imagine it
Remote start, lock/unlock doors, HVAC, windows, and alarm for basics.
That doesn't need the internet though right? Like a button on your key fob would achieve the same effect?
It's done with your phone without line of sight or proximity of your car. The cars with built in security cameras, you can also remote view as well. I don't know of any fob with a TV screen on it.
