4G LTE Shutdown Could Brick Connected Cars, Experts Warn

Original: It's Probably Time to Start Worrying About the 4G LTE Shutdown Bricking Cars

The Drive reports that carriers' planned shutdowns of 4G LTE networks could disable internet-connected features in millions of cars that rely on the technology. Vehicles built with embedded 4G modems may lose emergency calling, remote start, navigation updates and other connected services once networks go dark, effectively 'bricking' features owners paid for. The concern is that many carmakers have not offered owners clear upgrade paths or warnings before the network retirements take effect.

Why now: Carriers are phasing out 4G LTE networks, and owners are realizing connected car features they paid for may stop working.
