4G LTE Shutdown Could Brick Connected Cars
Original: It's Probably Time to Start Worrying About the 4G LTE Shutdown Bricking Cars
The Drive warns that the planned shutdown of 4G LTE networks could leave cars with connected features effectively bricked, as vehicles relying on 4G modems for infotainment, emergency calling, and remote services will lose those functions once carriers retire the network. With many older connected cars unable to upgrade to newer modems, owners and industry watchers are debating how widespread the impact could be.
Why now: Carriers are moving to retire 4G LTE, raising concerns that older connected cars will lose connectivity features permanently.
