I have no idea how it's designed, but it should put a credential on your phone which it can check via Bluetooth. That credential would presumably have an expiration date and the app should only need to validate it once when the status changes.

If we're talking "should," it should default to airbag active when it can't verify that the subscription hasn't been paid

It shouldn't be checking anything during a ride. If it needs to be turned on at the start of the ride, it should do all the checks and give a green light or a red light (or some other clear indicator) before they start riding.

That way, the only way it doesn't go off if someone wears it while ignoring the "system is not active for safety" warning.

Shouldn't be a subscription in the first place, but hey, this is just a weird hypothetical.

I have to assume this is a joke because that is quite literally exactly what it does

Or better yet, it's better to not require credentials to use a life saving device in the first place.

What would happen if you drop your phone on the road and don't notice until you are beyond BT range?

Sounds like the credential life cycle would be equal to (or smaller than) the grace period: 1 month
