No, it's the only easy option they have. Take all the vulnerable vehicles off the road. That's another option they have. > How would you fix the issue for existing vehicles? Have dealers yank the cellular connection in every vehicle and refund the customers something for removing a feature the product sold with. Nothing else will fix it in a short timeline.
