Is their car connected? I have a 2022 Hyundai and all it does is tell me to drive safely but if you don’t respond it goes straight to CarPlay. I imagine you need to connect the car to Hyundais app for them to get data right?

If only that was the case! Cars have their own cellular modems and ship off your data without any end user involvement.

All cars? Man, I need to do something about that...but I never agreed to anything, though it may have saved my response since I am leasing the car.

Any modern car with eCall will. Some will even make you pay for it.

I don't think its connected (my parents wouldn't set anything up), but who knows?

I wonder if the dealership connected mine. I have a lease so anyone could have test-driven the car and hit "accept"
