I'm a bit out of the loop, the slate doesn't have a modem and GPS? I assume the bolt does? Seems like an important factor these days.
It's a car, not computer. Lack of wireless connectivity is nothing but a plus in my books. My phone has an internet and GPS for when I need them.
That was my point.
Seems like something I'd want to avoid at all costs these days.
Yes, but it's moot from a privacy standpoint for most if you bring your cell phone in the car.
If you're worried about it, it's trivial to throw your phone in a faraday bag.
Whatever the right amount of distrust in phones, the distrust in car makers is much much greater.
Yes we know phones have radios in them thank you.
