Like the original intent of such, "always connected" entities (NOTE: not necessarily with the same intent!!!) such as the US-based General Motors OnStar service, the original one-way configuration (from your car to GM) at product launch was intended to serve additional functions of a more two-way nature, fee-based service in the future. Your car's basic health would be monitored by OnStar and the driver could be advised to take the car to a dealer for service, for example. Don't know about today, but, originally OnStar was a fee-based service after the first year.
Maybe?
