4. Automakers come up with new integrated infotainment systems [and ditch CarPlay and AA because they want their slice of that sweet user data pie]

...now, can you guess what step 5 will be? Check the second part of step 1, plus add mandatory subscription fees Reality doesn't matter to them anymore, it's all about the stock price.
Agreed and they ain't the only ones where Reality doesn't matter.
The circle is complete says Vader. Seriously isn't this the way in almost all situations of the type.
