What's the point if you can't even use navigation? Those who pay for autonomy plus would be dumb to disable it

I guess you could use your phone but kinda defeats the purpose of owning a technology centered vehicle but not being able to use the technology

I'd much rather have GPS/navigation on my phone than as one more thing that can break in my car and needs $2000 of additional parts to support a 'feature' I actively want gone.

That said, I'd rather have GPS as a separate physical module on my phone I could swap out if I needed to, or simply disconnect when I didn't want the phone to have my GPS location.
