So pretty much the title. I recently got a 2023 corolla and loving it, but what I don’t understand is why it’s got wifi. I’ve driven a 2012 Yaris prior to this and that was pretty much a “dumb” car.

    I don’t know about the corrola specifically but many cars can act as a hot spot so if you have kids they can connect their tablets or whatnot.

    There’s a few answers but none of them are the real answer.

    It costs next to nothing to include in the car but adds a substantial amount to the selling price OR it doesn’t add much to the price but adds substantial perceived value from the buyer’s perspective

    I wonder how unsecure those are. I don’t know much about cybersec but my senses are tingling.
