  • They might keep driving, but some infotainment features (or even other features that are tied to subscriptions) might stop working.

    Depending on the implementation of these features that could mean the car constantly shows error messages, or the infotainment freezes, or in the worst case the car won’t even start or charge.

    Some of these concerns are true for newer cars of traditional manufacturers: what happens when their online services become unavailable?


    1. under screen fingerprint readers (USFR) have basically no accuracy problems? I find that mine rarely struggles to read my fingerprint, and the one on my Ipad (on the power button) sometimes doesn’t register the first time either.

    2. the USFR DON’T need to scan all the time, they can just wake when YOU TOUCH THE SCREEN! It’s basically the same for ALL kinds of fingerprint readers, so it’s a non-issue.

    3. well, I concede that point

    4. cost comes down with scale. Also phones are ridiculously expensive nowadays, the cost of the sensor doesn’t have a huge impact on that.

    5. fingerprint readers can scratch as easily as the screen. People are much more likely to make sure the screen does not get damaged than the finger print reader.

    6. traditional finger print readers struggle when wet as well. Also your phone is basically unusable anyways, when it’s wet.

    I mean it comes down to preference, but I like the scanner to be under the screen. All the things you listed really speak against finger print scanners in general, why not use Face ID?
