Reply to comment by restore_democracy in VW wouldn’t help locate car with abducted child because GPS subscription expired by DontDoDrugs316

Why would you pay for GPS subscription on a vehicle when every phone does it for free?

You don't pay for the gps subscription. You pay for the car to transmit the gps data, since that takes data traffic and isn't free. Using a gps service, however, is free.

Or, bear with me now, corporate entities shouldn't fuck people over for petty reasons when they have the ability to save an abducted child.

This was the unfortunate and inevitable result of a corporation outsourcing an important function to a 2nd corporation who then outsourced their call center to a 3rd who couldn't be arsed to train their agents.
