So you're telling me that simply walking out to the car and hitting a button inside the car is just too much of an "inconvenient experience"?

You know we used to have to drive the car... sometimes many miles... to a station, get out, and fill it up with a liquid fuel that costs many times more, and then drive home...

Seriously now- The perceived 'inconvenience' you have is the reason that so many of these connected features are being pushed and then the because the ability is there the business types can't resist the data gathering that became possible because of all the antennas, etc.

But you’re also using this technological convenience to reply to me. You know we used to have pen and paper and horses.

    False equivalence: you're saying you want the convenience of remote access without the price the manufacturer is charging (full data collection)

      Yes, because it's entirely possible to do. Hell, the manufacturer even charged a price when you bought the car, or I can pay the $20 for my lifetime share of server usage.
