Could AP ever become a subscription, and not one-time in nature

[S'toon]

I think the subscription model makes sense only when the technology has matured and the pace of innovation has leveled off (see Adobe CS and Microsoft Office). Right now, AP is changing so fast that new hardware/capabilities can help drive new car purchases. Once the hardware and software become effectively commoditized, the only way to make money on the feature is to offer access via subscription.

And now I use LibreOffice instead of paying a subscription to MS. What a waste of money.

Savings coming from low battery cost will partially cover the cost of ap. Or they will increase the price of the ap option as they have done once already

A thousand times "no!" I dislike, abhor, hate subscription software!

I really doubt that they would allow us in and out of the service.
