4G LTE Shutdown Could Disable Features in Millions of Cars
Original: It's Probably Time to Start Worrying About the 4G LTE Shutdown Bricking Cars
Concerns are growing that carriers shutting down 4G LTE networks in the US will leave connected cars without the cellular service many features depend on, effectively disabling them. Drivers are being warned that older vehicles with embedded 4G modems could lose emergency calling, remote start, navigation and over-the-air updates. Owners of several makes may need upgrades or retrofits to stay connected once networks are switched off.
Why now: Wireless carriers are winding down 4G LTE coverage, raising the prospect that connected-car features will stop working for owners of affected vehicles.
