Most of the EVs being announced have 24/7 internet connectivity, which in itself is fine. However most manufacturers are depending on Google, Amazon etc. to provide infotainment systems (and I’m assuming smart car related features). Generally always connected and tech giant integration doesn’t go well for privacy. So are there any manufacturer not dependent on tech giant at all ? Or is tech giant integrations are fine since data is never (and never will be) relayed to cloud?

    I wasn’t aware lane keeping and emergency braking needs cloud connectivity, wouldn’t that be hazardous (if internet connectivity is not available) ?

      Without cloud connectivity, it would presumably operate like a normal completely human controlled vehicle, so no capability would be lost.
