Coming to Aston Martin in US and Canada for now. Hyundai/Kia/Genesis should follow: let’s see how quick it will actually come to the masses and which current vehicles can get it through software update.

My increasing distrust for big tech has soured me on "deep integrations" like this. I feel this is just laying the foundation for subscription based cars.

  • "Sorry, you have not paid for Apple CarPlay Ultra Plus Max, we are reducing your max speed to 50 mph (~80 km/h)"
  • "To enable, AM radio for 12 hrs please authenticate on iPhone or use fingerpick on start button for iDNA authentication and 10% off!"
  • "Sorry, to unlock back doors you must add Aston Martin Ultra Premium Accessibility. Alternatively, just shove passengers through front doors"
  • "You are currently on the freemium plan with advertisements enabled. Prior to vehicle starting, you will be subjected to 30 minutes of tailored advertisements"
  • "Credit card on file has expired. Car is disabled. Please contact Aston Martin + Apple support for further assistance."
  • "Oopsie woopsie, car cannot connect to telemetry system. Cannot operate vehicle while system is unable to connect to internet."
