The buyer, a New York-area leasing company called American Lease, says in a new filing that Fisker now believes there is no way to transfer the information connected to each SUV to a new server not owned by the bankrupt EV startup. Since American Lease needs that information to operate the vehicles after Fisker is dissolved, the leasing company has filed an emergency objection to the startup’s liquidation plan.
The problem is not cars that use software - that is inevitable and OTA updates are far superior (if properly secure) than having to take the thing into a shop.
The problem is these people can’t or won’t write databases and systems that transfer from one data center to another. That stinks of either incompetence or bad faith.
Probably the stuff requires back end connection to properly work. So just the data is useless as it has references in the database to all sorts of other systems/applications and it would require all this data to also be available.
well, then, they should make those systems available to port the data or entire applications over en toto, it’s not like Fisker is going to be doing anything with them
Via USB is even better, this way you don’t need your car to be online
