The technology is there for people to pay for and then after a while pay to fix it, then when things get messy, sell the car and get a new one hoping that they will get trouble free motoring.
If you come to see it from a corporate point of view, it is a smart way to make money, let the people want thing that will break, and if they don’t like it force it on them by not giving them the option to go with a conventional key for example.
Another thing that I see happening in the local market her in the UAE that might not be the case in The US is that we are forced to by from local dealers, I know it might sound crazy but on some car models like the BMW X5 we can import them from the US. With better options for half the price of what is offered in the market and it takes the car from 4 to 6 weeks to arrive, rather than waiting for months to get it from the dealer. The smart a**es in the dealer ships here are now even refusing to service any vehicle that is imported with the excuse of software difference. Daaah I brought in a car not a computer...
