|    3G Wireless Network Shutdown Means Your     |
|    20 Feb 22 14:16:51    |
      From: malQRMassimilation@gmail.com              As 3G networks shut down in 2022, some cars can be upgraded - but       others will lose the feature for good              As wireless carriers prepare to shut down their 3G networks over the       coming months, millions of cars may lose the ability to automatically       contact first responders after a crash. Some vehicles just need a       software or hardware upgrade, but others-including vehicles from       Chrysler, Dodge, Hyundai, Jeep, Lexus, Nissan, Ram, and Toyota-will       lose their connections permanently.              Automatic crash notification, which alerts first responders after a       crash via a built-in cellular connection, often relies on aging 3G       cellular networks to connect drivers with emergency services and share       a vehicle's location. Even though automakers have been aware that       these networks are shutting down permanently between February and       July, many manufacturers still relied on it until as recently as the       2021 model year.              https://www.consumerreports.org/car-safety/3g-wireless-network-s       utdown-impact-on-car-safety-a2215482633/              --       (Please remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
