It doesn’t perma brick the car. Just stick the fuse back in, drive it a bit so it realizes the telematics module is fine, and it’s back to normal.

100%. Work in IT, but have worked on cars as a hobby most of my life too. I was messing around trying to figure out how to disable telemetry at a hardware level on mine, so I pulled the fuse for the telemetry module to see what would happen. It bricked the entire vehicle.
The 90s were peak. Reliability and low maintenance of electronic fuel injection, but would keep on running if any of the ancillary crap failed.

This strangely made me feel a better about the concept of death.
Sometimes I think about it and fall in a few seconds of existential dread. But this kinda…makes it make sense?

Maybe if you didn’t split settings into that half-baked settings app, then leave control panel in place with the remaining settings, but make control panel increasingly difficult to get to, we wouldn’t need a stupid AI agent to help us change settings.

This only applies to GM EVs. Friend has a 2025 ICE Chevy which has both AA and CarPlay. Still dumb that the EVs don’t have it though.
