4G LTE Shutdown Could Brick Connected Cars
Original: It's Probably Time to Start Worrying About the 4G LTE Shutdown Bricking Cars
Car makers built connected features into millions of vehicles that rely on 4G LTE networks, and carriers are now shutting those networks down as spectrum is reallocated to newer technologies. Once the networks go dark, features like emergency calling, remote start, and over-the-air updates could stop working, and some cars could lose core functions. Drivers are debating which vehicles and years are affected and whether owners will get fixes or compensation.
Why now: Mobile carriers are retiring 4G LTE networks, raising concerns that older connected cars will lose functionality.
