In our increasingly connected world, more and more of the things we use every day are engineered for maximum connectivity. Does your refrigerator need Bluetooth and/or WiFi connectivity? How about your microwave? Your car? Maybe even your motorcycle?
Listen, if you really need your refrigerator to send you a push notification on your phone to let you know that the door is open, I'm not totally sure how that's supposed to help when you're already at the airport and about to board a plane. I mean, I guess maybe you could call someone closer to home and tell them to go shut the door? But honestly, it seems a bit like solving a hypothetical problem that may not actually exist.
On vehicles, there's more of a case to be made for the benefits of connectivity; after all, navigation and music streaming both usually require connecting your phone. There's also an argument to be made about adding things like route recording (so you can keep track of your favorites), and why not add value with features like vehicle health, or the ability to adjust settings from your phone instead of diving into sub-menus on the dash, and so on. Sometimes, those features can be very cool and useful (as long as they're working as intended).
