The New Audi A3 Is Amess With In-Car Subscriptions [Update]
www.motor1.com
The 2025 Audi A3 looks sharper and comes with more tech, but you will have to pay a subscription for some basic in-car features.

So far there’s subscriptions for cruise control, adaptive beams, various navigation options, apple/google integration and my favorite, dual-zone climate.

      You when the only other option is to use public transport in a country with the worst public transportation of any western nation because instead of calling on the government to do something you said “it doesn’t effect me so why should I care?”

        But that’s not the only other option. So why would anyone buy it? No reason to create laws for a non-issue.

          If it’s profitable and they get away with it you know every other car company will do the same.

              I wish they had a remind me bot here because I think that this comment will age like milk over the next 5 years.

              The answer is: enough people to make it profitable.
