BMW/Merc already do this, they will lock the seat warmer unless you pay for monthly/yearly sunscription. Remember I baught the f&$in car, that's my hardware and they lock it behind paywall. I hope more of us take a stand against the bullshit spewed by big tech.

Yes they started this subscription thing last year but they’re yet to launch it here in India. Many more subs coming soon.

Locking seat warmer is still evil but lesser one. However, your car moving away from you cos you did not paid the emi. Damn another level evil.

The locking will happen in steps. The car will give warnings for days before doing anything. Seat warmers is the first step and driving away is the last. The financer has the right to take away the car if emi is not paid so nothing is new here.

I dont think so this will be implemented in India at least for small and mid size vehicles. But yes for bmw/audi/volvo etc. segment cars.
Indian govt. might oppose due to opposition from aam aadmi!
Govt. will first evaluate hows the current and past trends on car loans and banks here already seize houses and cars so not much of a worry factor.

This^ I don't think this will come in india (excluding imported and luxury cars) and that would not be because of govt, I think Indians have proved time and again that we might be poor and easy to herd around but we do recognize bullshit when we see it. Just to compare, US has just signed a bill to limit extra charges/fees by soul sucking organizations, Now almost 250 years of independence and they just realised this bullshit.

My point is government doing this in response to a backlash vs doing it because it's the right thing is the reason I don't trust these bastards.
