BMW is always making headlines with this crap, are there any other brands doing this shit? I know Hyundai IONIQ has a free trial for you to be able to unlock your car and whatnot with an app, later they will do it subscription based.

Most people don’t seem to care since they understand there are ongoing server and infrastructure costs.
