Turns out it's mandated by law in the EU too

Do they check modem presence regularly or you can rip the modem and show a middle finger to surveillance state?

  • This came up on HN somewhere, and the answer was that insurance will decline claims if the modem wasn't in at the time of a crash, so it's risky not to have it. That and you fail inspection, but that's of course easier to work around.

Wait till they'll mandate other things done to you via your car via the internet. ALl in the name of protecting you and the kids of course.
