I love the stolen vehicle tracking and shutdown feature as well as the airbag emergency alert feature that OnStar already offers. Lovely stuff.

I love how these technologies have not only trickled down to average cars but have also become much better and more affordable at the bottom of the automotive hierarchy.

Car manufacturers, I don't need gimicks. I'd rather have a 150,000 or 200,000 warranty with free maintanence. And I already have Facebook on my iPhone 24/7 with unlimited data, why do I need it in my car?
