Post crash connectivity (as well as complex video classification) are part of the ncap standards now.

And with the way we are moving to centralized one system architectures, the device that does video processing can be the same soc that does smart infotainment.

Smart connectivity essentially comes "for free" if the manufacturer wants to hit 5 safety stars, so its not going away, and will come to ICE cars as they modernize the vehicle architectures.

Connect and infotainment must be firewalled from the engine computer for security reasons. It’s not like two raspberry pis are that expensive.

Not remotely true; Look up "one chip" designs.

Yes, there are some security threats, but solving them is more valuable than trying to design a car around true firewalls.

I hate that. If I live in the country, my car spies on me. If I live in the city everyone spies on me. One value I agree with the libertarians on is, I just want to be left alone.
